TWO MINUTE DRILL by Mike Lupica

This book is about two kids named Scott and Chris. Chris has dyslexia and is tutored by Scott. A big reading test is about to happen and Chris wants to quit already because of his dyslexia. Also, tryouts for the town's team are about to happen and both of them  want to get onto it.
  My favorite part was when Chris passed the reading test and he gave Scott a thumbs-up from across the room.
I would recommend this book to boys ages 9-13
This book in my opinion is a ****

LONG SHOT by Mike Lupica

Pedro Morales is the quiet guy on his basketball team. He isn’t a star like Ned, the best player and the most popular guy in school. That all changes when Pedro to run against Ned for class president to make his father proud, and his teammates make trouble for him on the court. Pedro wants to drain shots and be a good teammate-but it turns out that not everyone wants to pass him the ball.

My favorite part is when Pedro’s dad tells him he can play basketball instead of soccer. Then his dad does a bicycle kick and scores a goal.

 I think people ages 9-12 who like sports adn reading will enjoy this book.

RATING: ****
