RanVan the Defender

The book that I read was RanVan the defender by Diana Wieler. This book was about a boy named Ran Van who learns many things about life through out the book.

After taking to Thalie more at school, Ran meets her at the school later in the evening. Once the sneak into the school Thalie picks up a chair and smashes it through the glass window in the cafeteria door.
