Right now I am reading the novel The Blue Helmet by William Bell. The story so far is that a kid named Lee has got in trouble with the police one to many times, his Dad is tired of his behaviour so he sends Lee to live with his Aunt Reena in Toronto. Lee's Aunt runs a cafe, Lee does the delivery service for the cafe. While he is doing the delivery he comes across very strange characters, he meets a man named Abe Krantz who has many computers that tracks the weather and he listens to the cop radio. The  strangest character that Lee has come across is Bruce Cutter, Cutter has big locked doors and is very paranoid and thinks the government is after him. Lee creates a bond between him and Cutter and one day Lee comes to visit Cutter and he is acting very strange, Lee decides to leave and let Cutter rest. Later on that night Lee gets a call from Abe saying that he should go to Cutters house, when Lee arrives at Cutters house the police are there. Lee demands to speak to the cop who was in charge, Lee and the cop who was in charge talk and he says that Cutter has committed suicide. A couple days later Lee gets a call from Cutter's lawyer saying to come to her office. When Lee arrives at the office Cutter's Lawyer says that Cutter left something for Lee in Cutter's will. It says in Cutter's will that Lee gets Cutter's house and everything that is in it.

Right now what is happening in the book Lee has cleaned out the house and has made changes for  himself. While cleaning out the house Lee finds a room that was painted all black and on the walls there were sayings such as "Mootwa shall inherit the earth". Lee decided to look around the room and see what was there, he came across a file cabinet and opened it up. In the Cabinet was a light blue helmet, a wood handled knife and an old shoe that was covered on one side with blood. On the day that Cutter died he had said that "I was a peacekeeper once" the blue helmet had been worn by Representatives of the UN. Lee came across a diary of Cutters, Cutter had been part of the the UN and in the diary it talks about how Cutter went to Siberia when there was a war going on over there. I have not finished reading the chapter with the diary entries I still have couple pages left.This book so far has been enjoyable to me, the author's writing style is a little bit different from what I have read in the past. It is hard to make a prediction of what is going to happen next because it moves very slowly and focuses on one thing at a time.
