Some of the stuff that goes on in the Auburn Street Projects, I'm never gonna do. These projects are like some kind of never-never land, like they never got put on a regular map. Nobody comes around here on purpose. It's as if we all got lost, right in the middle of the city.Reeve McClain, Jr. -- Junebug -- has decided to skip his birthday. Since ten is the age when boys in the projects are forced to join gangs or are ensnared by drug dealers, Junebug would rather remain nine. Still, he does have a birthday wish: to someday become a ship's captain and sail away. So Junebug comes up with a plan to launch a flotilla, fifty glass bottles containing notes with his wish, in the hope that someone somewhere will help to make his dream come true.

This is a great book to read out loud to students. The writing is lyrical and poignant. This is an excellent book to use for discussion of literary elements as well as discussing character and personal choices. My students loved it.
Junebug is a good for anyone that likes stories about kids living in the city. Junebug, his mom, his Aunt Jolita, and his sister live in an apartment in a rough part of the city. Junebug enjoys collecting bottles and his dream is to get bottle messages from people in other places. You should read it.
I like Junebug. It is an exciting book. Mother fell down the steps and Junebug called the doctor and the ambulance came and took her to the hospital. She stayed there and Junebug came to the hospital to visit his mom . I also like the happy ending. Read this book and you will like it.

I like this book becase it is a friendship.His friend's help him.You need to read it.
I'm studying to become a teacher, and I found this book to be good for all age groups due to the topics it discusses, psychology of individuals living in a poor neighbor, sociology of poor neighbors, and interactions between people. I would recommand this book for those studying any social science course in college, as well as individuals in middle school for their English classes. The main character makes us down there that there is a rainbow at the other end of the day in all of our lives.
