FOOTBALL NIGHTMARE by Matt Christopher

              The Bucs are in the championships and the game is tied 14-14. Keith, their wide receiver goes deep and Billy, their quarterback fires a pass to Keith. Keith almost catches it but misses. After a few days he decides to quit but his sister Traci convinces him to keep on playing. Next season Keith does really well but will the Bucs make it to the playoffs?


              My favorite part is when Traci convinces Keith to keep on playing football. That made me feel good. If my sister said that to me I'd keep on playing. I never quit when it comes to a sport.

          I would recommend this to both boys and girls that are ages 7-15.

 Rating-****

LONG ARM QAURTER BACK Matt Christopher

The first game they lost by only one point. The second game they lost by a person almost tackling someone who was running for a touchdown. At the last game the long arm quarter back threw the ball all the way to the touch down field when his teammate  ran over there and caught the foot ball by a foot.

My scariest  part of the book was when the person ran to catch the football and I thought he wasent going to catch it but when he did I was relieved.

I would recommend this book for both boys and girls who are ages 9-10.

I would rate this book ****.

MISS SMALL IS OFF THE WALL by Dan Gutman

AJ and his friends are exited for their first fizz ed class. But when they walk in their teacher said "have fun with Miss Small, class." Once they look at Miss Small AJ thinks she is the tallest person he's ever met. She makes the class square dance and juggle feathers.  Where is the football, hockey, soccer, baseball, and volleyball?

I thought the funnest part was when AJ thought they were going to play doge ball so he put him self across from Andrea to whip her in the face, but instead the were going to be square dance partners. ;)

I would recommend this book to both boys and  girls ages 6-9

it was pretty cool when the other team scored a bunch of  points and won the game.
