Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? Jackie's Nine by Sharon Robinson is one of the greatest books i have ever read. Its about the first Major League black baseball player.There was almost three hundred white baseball players in till the president of the Brooklyn Dodgers made a crazy and unthinkable decision to bring in 1 black baseball player! He looked all through the stats of the black baseball player and then he finally found one, his name Jackie Robinson! Pretty much all white people hated colored people back then because well because they were colored. White people thought they were better than colored people they thought they should get everything separated between black and white people. They thought they should get everything better than colored people but Jackie toke the offer and played and became they first ever black Major League Baseball player in history!!!

Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? I introduce you to Pictures Of Hollis Woods by Patricia Reilly Giff. Why should someone read the book you are reading? Someone should read my book because..... It is very detail tells everything that's going on chapter at a time. What makes it special? It's special because.....It has something books don't have it has pictures. Not like pictures that you take. Pictures that explain what goes on after every chapter. If those pictures weren't there I would think it's a normal book and leave some part of the story or detail. What makes it interesting? It's interesting because.......The details are very well written and it has good explaining when something went wrong. I hope that you read Pictures Of Hollis Woods for you can find out how great it is to.

Why should someone read the book you are reading? Someone should read the book The Maze Runner by James Dashner because its a really good book about these boys who get stuck in this weird place called the Glade. They don’t remember anything about their other life not even their real name. They have jobs that they have to do one is the maze runner which the main character Thomas wants. Anyways the mazer runner is pretty clear its a person that runs through a maze every day and maps it. The Gladers think it might show them a way out. There are monsters in the glade they are called Grievers. When you get stung by a Griever you go through this thing called the Changing. When they go through the Changing they get some of their memory back to help them. At the Glade they get one new person every month. Every month is has always been a boy until one day after Thomas came girl with a note came that note said “She’s the last one. Ever." So its got some twist and you just have to read it.

Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? Someone should read the book 11 Birthdays because it's a great read. It's about this girl that is turning 11. Amanda is the girl that is turning 11. Amanda is one of the main attention in the book 11 Birthdays. If you like drama this is the book for you. The author is Wendy Mass. Wendy has alot of other books one other book is Finally and it's where a girl turns 12 and she gets a phone and she gets to babysit. I finished 11 birthdays and i'm reading Finally right now. I would say that 11 birthdays is a girls read because it's a really girly book. But some boys might like it you never know with boys

Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? The reason somebody should read Tales from the Buckeyes' Championship Season by Paul Keels is because it will always keep you interested like reading about a game winning touchdown or a fourth and one or a incomplete pass to win the game. For Example when Ohio State played Michigan and it came down to one final play. It was like "All the sudden a flash of scarlet came toward the ball" and "Once the pass was in the air it seemed suspended in time with all waiting for it to fall to the ground". The thing I think is special about my book is you can't just read any book about the Buckeyes 2002 season and have as much information as this book has. Paul Keels work hard on know a lot about the season. He would tell you about injuries, what players said and told and put pictures that really help know how it looked felt.

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by; Stephen Chbosky...
This is a moving and touching story. It'll tug on your heart strings and make you cry at some point . This is a great book, I love it!!! It has drama, romance, sadness, love and a bit of fighting.
And for all the wallflowers out there…and you know who you… Thank you.
And this is the end of that chapter.
Sam started laughing. Patrick started laughing. I started laughing. And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.
And last but not least you will cry, smile and laugh. There is a movie about the book you should watch it and I would like to thank Stephen Chbosky for writing such a beautiful book.

This book is called Shredderman Attack Of The Tagger. Written By Wendelin Van Draanen is one of the most exciting books I have ever read. It is about this kid Nolan Byrd A.K.A Shredderman hears about some vandal spray-paints graffiti around town. But while he's trying to snag the Tagger, the Tagger is trying to blame it on Shredderman! Can Nolan turn the tables back around before Shredderman takes the fall and his secret identity is revealed. From the second you open it up until the last page...
Mr. Green's van has been tagged by the Tagger. Nolan goes to bathroom at school and spy's on Bubba, Max, and Kevin.But Bubba will not tell Kevin and Max. Also Bubba tells Kevin and Max that they know the Tagger.
Nolan A.K.A shredderman sends a email to Bubba saying. The tagger's not cool. He's not' sly. He's not funny. He's not smart. What he is, is a coward. Totally chicken. If he wasn't chicken, he'd do something real. Something dangerous. Anyone can tag the side of a building. Big deal. Anyone can spray the inside of a kiddie side. Whoop-de-do! But here's something the Tagger would never spray: Ivana Voss's car. Why? Because that would take guts. Brawk-brawk-brawk, Tagger! You're lame!
Nolan is at school in yard sack trying to see the Tagger in the act. someone bumps Nolan A.K.A Shredderman A.K.A yard sack. The Tagger went over to Dr. Voss's car. Nolan see the Tagger in the act.
4 books are in this series. This is one great book. It's a exciting book. It had some drama in the book.

Why should someone read the book you are reading Cassie, I really liked the Maze Runner I really think the author thought and planed the book because at some of the times I really thought I was in the book! When I first read it i was a little confused but in the middle I really started to like it! But I will always have my favorite characters and favorite parts! I think that if you like mystery adventure kind of books then you should read the Maze Runner too!

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!
