FOOTBALL NIGHTMARE by Matt Christopher

At the beginning of the book a kid name Keith was on a football team, in the championship and they were down by four points and Keith got a wide open pass and dropped it. He was so devastated that he didn’t want to play football because that pass was with zero seconds left in the game. His friends talked him into playing football because they said nobody would make fun of him and they ended up winning the whole thing the next year!
My favorite part was when Keith got a touchdown pass to win it all in the end of the book and when Keith’s friends talked him into playing.
I would recommend this book to boys who are 8-12 years old will enjoy this book.
RATING: ****

 

RE: Schooled by Gordon Korman

Hi all, this is a message to all of you out in LibraryLand! Gordon Korman has indeed written many books for kids besides "Schooled"...some for elementary, some for middle school. A few examples are: The Everest, Dive, Island, Kidnapped, and On the Run series, The 6th Grade Nickname Game, Maxx Comedy: the Funniest Kid in America. And these titles are just the ones in OUR Library...he's written over 50 ! Just type in "Korman" on the OPAC, and click "author". We have 23. His newest is "Swindle", and it's hot off the presses...we'll be sure to pick it up. Check out his website: www.gordonkorman.com Incidentally, we have "The Magic Attic Club" books, written by Susan Korman...wonder if there's any relation? I'll be right back...google awaits... LLL
