What if a mafia was operating
right out of your school bathroom? Mac
and his right-hand man Vince have a tidy operation going in the wing of the
school that no one ever really frequents.
Their main objective? Tickets to
the Cubs game. Their main problem? It’s the one week where everyone has come to
Mac with problems that might be too big for him to handle, and one of them is
the school syndicate’s impending takeover by a local high school dropout. Mac has some tough lessons to learn about
biting off more than he can chew.
I would recommend the The Fourth Stall to readers 12 and
up. The story deals with some serious
situations. What I like about it is that
the main character is forced to make hard choices about what he’s doing and
consider the ethical aspects of his decisions.
Boys may go in for this book more than girls, but I am always supportive
of a person reading outside of his or her “comfort” zone.
