This
story, The Rag and Bone Shop ,by Robert Cormier, is about a 12 year old boy named Jason, who is
accused of murdering a little 7 year old girl because he was the last one to see
her. He is interrogated by the police and then, the book takes a little turn.
Jason constantly claims that he never murdered anyone and the police constantly
cling back on him. Finally, Jason is proven innocent when the police find the
actual murderer who had admitted he had done such a crime. However, towards the
end of the book, Jason becomes a little psychotic, in which he says that he too
wants to become a murderer after all that happened.
This
book, takes an interesting toll at the end and it is very fascinating because
this murder takes place in a very quiet neighborhood. The author gives off a
very secretive and creative tone with the way Jason thinks about the situation.
Overall, it is a superb book that I recommend everyone reads. The story line is
absolutely wonderful!

The story is about this 12 year old boy Jason that is accused of killing a 7 year old girl because he was the only person their at the crime scene. Jason claims that he never murdered anyone in the story, but was still accused by the police. Jason was interrogated by the police questioning about the murder of the 7 year old girl. The police soon later finds the real killer/murderer and doesn't accuse Jason anymore. Jason soon starts to want to be a murderer himself.
I kinda like this story because its about a character that is accused for something that he didn't do. Readers who like to read stories like this one should read this book.It made me feel kinda sad on how the police thought the 12 year old boy was the killer of a seven year old girl. I also like how ironic the story is because Jason said the he wasn't a killer but later wants to be a killer himself in the story.
