Right now for outside reading I am reading Water for elephants by Sara Gruen. I chose this book because it has been recommend to me by many people, it is supposed to be a really great book. I just started reading it so I am not very far into the story but so far its amazing. The story is about a boy named Jacob Jankowski he is studying to help his father in his veterinarian practice. Right before he is going to graduate he finds out that sadly his parents both were killed in a car accident. Unsure of where to go or what to do he wonders out of town.
He stops when he finds some train tracks and decides to rest. When the train passes by where he is he jumps on it and decides to go where ever it is taking him. He ends up arriving at the Benizi Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth which is a circus. There, he is welcomed and starts to work for the circus. So far it is a really good book and I like the story. It seems really interesting and like something I would enjoy.
