Ever since I checked this out from the library, I've read it many times, picking out my favorite scenes and witty conversations. A good book is a book that you can enjoy while you read, but a great book is a book that you can enjoy over and over again. Nola has been neighbors with the Swift boys forever, but she's still never told them she saw their daddy leave. Nola and the boys, chatty Kevin, serious, but always allowing her to tag along Brian, and her best friend Canaan, have always been great friends. But after Mr. Swift leaves, Brian too leaves home, Canaan starts hanging out with a couple of bullies, Kevin stops talking, and Nola sets out on quest to find their dad. Will Mr. Swift come home? Will Nola find Brian? Will Kevin start talking again? And will Nola ever get her best friend back? The Swift Boys & Me is an enthralling story that will surely sweep you off your feet.
