This book ROCKS!!!!!!!! It has something for everyone. It is the story of Alfred Kropp a (according to the book) big, dumb screw-up. His mother died when he was 12 and he lives with his under-paided night-gaurd uncle. His whole live changes when his uncle meets a man willing to pay them $1,000,000 if they retrive a sword for him. They do but they shouldn't have. It sets off a chain of events that no one would predict! Really though this is a great book! I give it a 5 of 5! Absoulutly awesome!
