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 ****.

IT'S RAINING CUPCAKES By Lisa Schroeder
This book is about a girl named Isabel Browning. Her mom loves to bake, so her family buys a little apartment above a closed laundromat called "The Bleachorama". Isabel's mom Caroline dreams is to turn The Bleachorama into a cute little cupcake shop called "It's Raining Cupcakes" because it rains a lot in Isabel's little town of Willow, Oregon. But when Isabel's friend Sophie shows her a kid's bake-off in a magazine called "Baker's Best" Isabel feels like she has to enter a cupcake recipe to please her mother.
My favorite part was when Isabel was in the dollar store and sees a little passport holder. She has never been out of her town of Willow, Oregon but know she has to buy it. When she got home, she attached some paper in the holder to make a notebook. Her first entry said "I want to go on many journeys. I want to meet interesting people and experience new things". I thought that message was very inspiring.
