THE MONUMENT by Gary Paulsen

If you like books about life and reality, The Monument is the book for you. It’s a book about an orphan girl named Rachael who has dark skin and a stiff leg who hopes to get adopted soon. My favorite part is when Rachael gets adopted and goes to live in Bolton, Kansas with her new family. She is getting used to the town when she finds a well-behaved stray dog that she names Python. At this time, the town of Bolton wants to build a monument so they hire an outstanding strange artist named Mick who inspires Rachel to love art. The citizens of Bolton gather to approve the monument so that it will be a complete success! I bet you’re now wondering, what is this monument, where is it going to be and what is it for? Read The Monument to find out as this novel will make you cry and smile no matter what chapter you’re on. So read it, you know you want to! The reality of this book touches everyone’s heart.
