I have just finished The Blue Helmet By William Bell and the book was not too bad of a book. In the last chapter of the book Lee gives the house, that he has been given to by Cutter, gives it to his Dad. Lee also gave all the money that Cutter gave to Lee to his Dad as well, that way his Dad can quit his second job and he can move out of his apartment in Hamilton. "At the beginning of the summer I had gone to Lakshmi and asked her to transfer the house to my father's name. When all the paper work had been done, I had mailed it to him with a note saying, "Now you have to move to New Toronto."


This part of the book reminded me of a book that I have read in the past that I really enjoyed. The book is called Hamish X and the Cheese Pirates by Sean Cullen. In this book a boy named Hamish X is dropped off at an orphanage that is run by a man named Viggo. This orphanage makes the children make cheese, later on in the book the orphanage is taken over by cheese pirates and they take all the children, cheese and Viggo. The only people that are not captured are Hamish X and his friends, at the end Viggo gets killed by the cheese pirates and the orphanage is taken over by staff employees who the orphans look up to and love. The similarities between the two books is that they both take over a place that helps make someone's life a lot better.
