"Coaltown Jesus" Ron Koertge (122 pages)

How would you react if you prayed to Jesus and he showed up in your bedroom? All Walker wanted was for Jesus to help his mom get over the death of Noah, Walker’s older brother. According to Jesus, Walker was the one who needed the help. Once Walker warmed up to Jesus, he was able to answer sensitive questions. Little by little, Jesus answers Walker’s prayers, but not in the way Walker had expected. The author, Koertge, gives Jesus comical and relatable characteristics which help Walker understand what’s really going on in his life. He takes a very different approach than most authors do, by writing the story in poems. I personally think the book is quite odd, but it is good for a quick read!
