It all started on the football field with Mick, Drew, Matt, and Deshawn competing on who was the best football player. Mick’s dad taught him how to play football when he was four. He played a lot of football games since then. His dad encouraged him to not take steroids and be the best he can because his dad was a professional football star wanting Mick to be the best. The conflict is that Mick was taking steroids and wanting to be better at football than Matt. After the coach found out, Mick thought the problem would be solved by shooting himself. But you will have to find out by reading it. I recommend this book to people who love football. -Kyle K.

The book The Genius Files, by Dan Gutman, is a great book.  It’s a realistic fiction/mystery book that takes place all across the country in an R.V.  When the main characters, Coke and Pepsi, find out they are part of the mysterious organization called “The Genius Files,” they must find out who is trying to kill them and stop him.  They find secret codes that lead them to their enemy.  Anyone who loves a good quick and easy read will love this book.

Don’t be fooled by the cover, Pilot & Huxley, by Dan McGuiness, is a fun-filled adventure suitable for anyone with a good sense of humor. The book focuses on two boys, Pilot and Huxley, who after failing to return a game to the video store are zapped into an alternate dimension by the Grim Reaper. The two must embark on an adventure to get home meeting new characters along the way.

I would really recommend this book for kids of all ages. In fact, I like this book so much I wish I had an actual quote from a fancy magazine. When you get a chance, read it; I highly recommend it!
