Book Review Of No Right Turn

No right turn by: Terry Trueman

The book no right turn is like an action thriller. This book is about a boy named jordan and he came home one day and the only person who was home at the time was his dad. After 10 minutes had gone by jordan's dad called him into his office and his dad said "i'm sorry" Jordan left the room and seconds later he heard a gunshot he ran back into the office and saw his dad laying there with a gun in his hand and blood everywhere. A major conflict in this book is 2 years after the death of jordan's dad his mom started dating again. What I loved about this book is its kinda of a mystery it will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time.  What I didn't really like about this book was the chapters where a little to short. This book I would recommend to anyone who likes mysteries. The length of this book was just right it wasn't to short or to long.

Elizabethan Sports

1. Queen elizabeth loved to hunt.

2. Most of the sports of the Elizabethan era were carried over from the medieval period.

3. one of the most popular games back in the Elizabethan era was jousting.

4. Games were an important back then.

5. Hunting was a favorite pastime of high society.





The games back then were way different from today. Now a days we don't joust for fun or anything like that. The hunting back then is way different then it is today from they style of hunting from what they use to hunt.
