The Stranger is a book about a man that changes a family's life forever. The dad in the story sees a man in the road and after hitting him with his truck he brings him back to his house. The man doesn't talk and he doesn't seem to know who he is. He stays with the family for awhile until he notices that things are not the same with him there. The whole book is trying to get you to figure out who the stranger is. This is a great book for grades 3rd through 8. It is a picture book but the story...
