page 100-150

There was a very important situation that was experienced in this library throughout a certain time in this book.. Danny goes to this library full of books and interesting thing in which he can expand his mind with. He ends up developing a relationship with Rueven's father without even knowing it. It was only in this place where Danny could express his true feelings and do something that he really loved. Danny was a very smart boy who wanted to learn more, but his father didn't approve, this was a place where he could get away from all of the pressures in his life.

Not only was he going to this library looking for new things to learn, but Rueven's father helped him a great deal to figure out exactly what he was interested in. It was wonderful for him to be surrounded by all of these new ideas. The library was a kingdom of relief for Danny. He could look up and be surrounded by an endless number of books. He could never read them all, but he did want to try. This was where his true love lie, but it was almost impossible to convince his father to approve of this.

It was an overwhelming experience when he would enter this library. There were people just standing around waiting to help him. It was like heaven, he would be treated like a king. Anyone could go there and express their true feelings. There were no worries once they would enter those doors.

In a sum total, there would be nothing, but good feelings whenever one would enter this very inviting library. It was as calm as a summer day, when one reads on through these many interesting ideas.
