 * I Am the Cheese** by Robert Cormier
 * Hunter Selby-Period 10**

At this point in the story, Adam finally realizes who he is and the big secret is somewhat unveiled. His father, as a newspaper reporter, came across some documents that made him unwillingly involved in a federal government case. He went out of the state to testify for the government in a hearing and returns home. The case and the people he testified against have not yet been named. I think it is a very interesting plot because his father and his family are put in danger because of something his father accidentally found. The unnamed people he testified against try to kill his father and his family after he testified. A bomb is placed in his father’s car, but no one is hurt. Then after a little while of peace and quiet, an assassinator tries to kill his father while he is at work, but his father was protected by a federal agent. After those incidents, the family is put into Witness Protection, and they move to a different town with a different name and family history. I think this is a very interesting turn of events because I was not expecting this event or events to happen to Adam’s family. It also shows that whatever Adam’s father accidentally got himself into, someone is willing to make him disappear because of it. He has not yet released what it is he is involved with, but I am very excited to find out.
