The Barn at Gun Lake

The book I read was The Barn at Gun Lake by Jonnie Tuitel and Sharon Lamson.

Jonnie has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair. He doesn't think he is much different from other people, but does know it is a bit more challenging for him to do things. There are a lot of kids in this neighborhood that he has just moved into. They created this club called the Gun Lake Gang that Jonnie wants to be a part of. To be a part of the Gun Lake Gang he has to go through an initiation. For this he has to go to the old barn and bring out something to prove that he went inside. Jonnie brings out a CD case. The kids think it might be part of CD pirating. Jonnie and his new friends go through some exciting adventures. Your have to read the book to see if they get caught spying or if CD pirating is really happening.

This book is based on a true story and it takes place in Michigan. Jonnie Tuitel now goes around and is a motivational speaker.

The Barn at Gun Lake is part of the Gun Lake Adventure series. This website tells a little bit about Jonnie Tuitel http://www.johnnietuitel.com/home.html.
