One reason is.... character Will Tyler, everybody knows he's great at football. Like when he gets the ball he gets the rushing straight up the gut dodging defenders like their nothing, left and right. Then we he's at the 5 yard line he steps in a hole.
Another reason is....Joe Tyler Will's dad. The next day at lunch Will was talking to people trying to find another player but know one wanted to join. Then when Will got home if left for practice and there was this girl named Hannah who was great.

Why should someone read the book you are reading? The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan it's about a 12 year old kid named Percy Jackson. Percy is a demigod which means one of his parents is a god and the other is human which in this case Percy’s dad is Poseidon the sea god. Percy was accused of steeling Zeus’s master lighting bolt. Percy and his friends try to go find the missing lightning bolt.They only got ten days till the gods will start a war. Did I mention that this is a really good adventure book. So if you want a good action book go check out The Lightning Thief By Rick Riordan. The Lightning Thief also is a series their’s six books total so if you are looking for a good action series check it out.You can find the whole series in the book room.

The book Stargirl by Jerry spinelli is one of my favorites. It is exciting because you never know what is going to happen next.In this book what makes it special is that it encourages kids to be themselves.This book is full of excitement,drama and even a little romance.I would gladly recommend it not only to kids but to adults too because this book might help parents and grandparents understand what might be going on if their child starts acting different or strange.
This book is life touching and well written. You may not like books like this but i say you should at least give it a try. If you have the same mind that i do i almost promise that you will like this book. I am so glad to have read and own this book and i know that i will keep this book and read it to my family.I will cherish this book for ever and ever and never let it go.This is a book that i know my family would be happy to read.

You would read Stormbreaker because Stormbreaker is a book where a kid named Alex Rider loses his uncle. But did he get killed in an car crash or get murdered? Well you will for sure find out when you read Stormbreaker. Alex is then recruited to a special agency the M16. And trust me you will be on the edge of your seat. There is a person named Herod Sayle and he made stormbreakers. Once Alex is caught he has to use his training skills to stop Herod from doing something really bad. Alex was once a normal boy though.He was fourteen and he went to school. His parents had died in a plane crash. But now he only had his uncle and its pretty heavy on Alex when he found out his uncle has died. After his uncle died he found out his uncle was a spy! And boy is it excitement from there and suspense you will really have to wait what happens next time you read stormbreaker. The reason why I picked Stormbreaker is because of Miss Hemming because she told me Stormbreaker was exactly what i was looking for and BOOM there is Stormbreaker. When I read the first 2 pages i thought i wasn't interested in the book. But boy was I happy that I read that book! And now I am reading his second book. This author (Anthony Horowitz) also makes these books from this website www.anthonyhorowitz.com/alexrider/. They all look very exciting to read. If you finish Stormbreaker you need to read Point Blank. It is a very good book to. But I have only got so far in it. But Stormbreaker is a very exciting book. If you read Stormbreaker you will be very happy you read it,trust me!

Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? The reason someone should read the book I am reading is because it is very exciting and if you like mystery or adventure or even like being frightened you would really like it! My book is called Harry Potter And The Sorcerers Stone written by J.K Rowling. J.K Rowling is a great author because all of his books come together and work just like a puzzle. Harry potter is a great book and I think everyone should read it! My old neighbors used to be big Harry Potter fans and we'd watch all the movies together and I think what makes my book special is the way it's different and the way I came to be a Harry Potter fan. I always thought it was weird and i'd never read those books, but after I grew up a little I relized that it might be a nice change and who kows maybe I will love this series. I do love this series! What makes my book interesting is the great detail it has. My book is very thick but once you start reading the time fly's and you're already on the the fourth book! My book is very interesting because it has weird creatures and very crazy settings. My book is great and you should try it out and maybe you'll love it!

I like The Time Warp Trio, Your Mother Was A Neanderthal by Jon Scieszka. It's a funny book you should read it, they get a book for their birthday that lets them travel back in time. How cool is that?
So to get out of doing math homework they go to the Stone Age where there are no math problems, some people get all the luck.But how can they get back home when when writing isn't invented! That is why I think you should read this book. I think you will like this book.

My book The Son Of Neptune by Rick Riordan is AWESOME.There are two sides to the gods. The greek side and the roman side. The gods started out greek then they turned to be roman,and then they kept switching from greek to roman.In this book they are roman.
Percy made two friends as soon as he made it to camp.There names are Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque.They went on a big quest that could have destroyed camp if they didn’t succeed.
This book is really good so you should read it.You will be excited at the end.Rick Riordan writes great books so you should try reading one of them.

No talking by Andrew Clements it is a great book.It has a lot of details.The reason I picked this book out is I read a lot of his books and my friends recommend it to me. Like this is an example from the book. Lynsey narrowed her eyes and hissed,"you take that back!" instead of saying "take that back".
This is another example from the book.So it was hard for then to not talk all day in school because of the teachers asking then questions about Science, Math, Social Studies and Gym. On the bus it is not hard for then to talk because their were no teachers around asking them questions.

I think someone should read the book Winnie The Horse Gentler by Dandi Daley Mackell because it is about a girl that takes care of horses and her friends always make the book more interesting. Winnie has to take care of a foal that does not have a mother. The foal needs taken care of almost all the time. She has a sister and a dad, Winnie's dad is a inventor and her sister loves to bake. Winnie always has a lot going on, her friend gave her a untamed pony that needs training and she has the foal. Winnie almost never gets any sleep because she needs to take care of the foal. She has to take care of 3 horses that is a lot of work for her. I find this book exciting,happy and a little sad. I think that if you are into horses you should definitely read this book.

I am reading the book The Secret Of The Old Clock by Carolyn Keene. I think someone should read the book because it has a bunch of twists and turns that you do not expect to happen!!!!!!!! It is a mystery book about Nancy Drew and her detective friends. One great example from the book is Nancy headed straight for the building and drove in. The next moment she heard a piercing scream!!!! That part made me want to keep on reading and find out what will happen next!!!! Another great example from the book is ''they've left me here to starve!'' She thought frantically!!! I couldn't wait to read more!!!!! I think what makes this book special is there is none out there like it!!!!! If you like mysteries then you will love this book!!!!!!!!

Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? Someone should read my book because it is dramatic and adventurous! Its special because its a perfect age limit for me. What makes it interesting is that it is very adventurous with the writing and I like the creativity the author gave it. I love this book because it is a perfect novel for ages 11-up. It's like a teenage life. It's almost exactly what happens to some teens. And it also shows the friendship of Mia (main character), and her two best friends who have been together since elementary (they are in high school now). A big example of drama is that she almost goes to jail for shoplifting and she is thinking that she found her her father that ran away from her when she was just a baby! The adventure is meeting new and meeting old friends everywhere she goes. Adventurous! Some adventure is that she needs to pay off you shoplifting find and needs to get a job, her mom suggests she works at the University cafeteria with her. As a response Mia says “You’re kidding right? What’s so great about serving bratty college kids a bunch of nuclear waste? ”. Drama, Drama, Drama! Did I tell you this book has drama? Well, if I did here is some more examples, ” Besides, Mia was her daughter, so she should be the one to decide what's best for her. This was only last month, and it had gotten really ugly! “The girl has a brain. Unlike you. So forget it!” grandpa would yell. Then there was her mother’s stunned face .” So if your up for a catch, some adventure, some drama here and there, and excitement, than look no farther than Living on Impulse by Cara Haycak. Not rec amended for kids 9-down because of bad language popping up in the story!

Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? I think that someone should read my book because it's a really good book that's always making twist and turns when you least except it. It makes you want to keep reading and reading its that good!! The character Cassia makes you want to get to know her she says very little things about her self. One of the reasons Matched is such a special book is it's all the above instead of always mystery,funny,fantasy,non fiction.fiction. It's pretty much all the above from all the types of genres you can name. I think that the big reason that it's so interesting to me is that this book is different I don't like to read the same time I like to read about different things every time. But when you read Matched it's all in one of mystery, twisting and turns,funny, great, fantasy. Its just a little bit of everything.
