I have chosen this book, because it made me think. Think about all the sick an unloved children out there. (like Karl). I read this book on a 2 days trip to Germany with my football team in In the evening when our coaches said we had to sleep, i read in it. Actually it wasn’t my book, but one of my friends. Her mom said she had to pack a book for the trip, but she hate reading. I love reading, but i forgot a book. So i borrowed hers, i just had to tell her what it was about, so she could tell her mom. Like a deal. But when i read it those two nights, i just couldnt lay it down. I really wanted to know how it ended. So the reason why i picked this book, is basically because it’s the only book, that made me wanna read more. I said to myself: Just one chapter more! But both days my coach had to take it from me, so I would ready to attempt the goal (Goalkeeper)

En frygtelig ildebrand hærgede I aftes kvarteret Kattehalen her I byen, hvorved et par af de gamle træhuse brændte ned til grunden, og et menneskeliv gik tabt. En tiårig dreng, Karl Løve, befandt sig alene, syg og sengeliggende, I en lejlighed på anden sal, da branden udbrød. Straks efter kom hans broder, Den trettenårige Jonatan Løve, hjem, og før nogen nåede at standse ham, styrtede Han ind I det brændene hus for at komme sin broder til hjælp. Et øjeblik efter var hele Trappegangen et flammende ildhav. For de to indespærrede var der ingen anden Mulighed tilbage end at forsøge at redde livet ved at springe ud af vinduet. En rædselslagen menneskemængde, der havde samlet sig uden for huset, Måtte se hjælpeløst til, da den trettenårige tog sin broder på ryggen og med ilden Flammende bag sig uden betænkning kastede sig ud af vinduet. I faldet kom drengen Så alvorligt til skade, at han så at sige var dræbt på stedet. Den yngre bror deriomod, som han I faldet havde beskyttet sin krop med, kom ikke Noget til. Moderen til de to drenge, der var henne hos en kunde – Hun er syerske – Fik ved hjemkomsten et alvorligt chok. Hvordan ilden er opstået, ved man endnu ikke.
