Why I fight by J. Adams Oaks (Abe Book)

Why I Fight is the story of  Wyatt's journey with his Uncle Slade on the road. At age 12, Wyatt, is self sufficient. He prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner for himself and gets himself ready for school. It is typical for him to go days without seeing his parents. After a fire in his home, Wyatt and his parents end up staying in a shelter. Wyatt's Uncle Spade shows up and tells Wyatt to come with him. Wyatt, doesn't even hesitate before heading on the road with his favorite Uncle. The next few years are filled with long drives, different women and towns. As Wyatt continues to grow his Uncle Slade decides Wyatt would be an excellent fighter and begins to make money off of his nephew. This is Wyatt's story.

Overall, I thought they book was good. I had never read anything by this author before. Although the title seems geared towards boys I think both boys and girls would enjoy the story. Everyone deals with family drama at some time in their life.
