"'It's not about getting knocked down, it's how you get back up.'" I usually don't read books about football, but this one was great! 8th grader Teddy's whole life is football. He lives, eats, breathes football. But his world is turned upside down when his father, who hasn't been part of Teddy's life for years, suddenly shows up on his doorstep and seems to think (and act like) he's the new coach of Teddy's football team. He expects Teddy to be the perfect player, which Teddy can't be all the time, and makes him try positions he's not accustomed to. On top of all that, Teddy and his friends Jack, Cassie, and Gus are organizing a fundraiser to support their school's music program, which was a big project to take on. Teddy is taking life one step, or tackle, at a time, and he needs to put on his A-game to work through his problems on and off the field. This book was an easy, fun read, and I recommend it to all sports lovers, especially those who love football! I liked this book a lot, and learned more about football then I've ever known! Another great novel by Mike Lupica! For ages 8+

The Humphrey series is really good. I have read a lot of them including: Mysteries according to Humphrey, Winter according to Humphrey and a couple more.

This book is about a little boy named Andrew and his dad who have to live at the airport because they are homeless. They try not to get caught, so they move around every day and try to fit in with other people. They do their laundry in the sink. Andrew’s dad works as a custodian. They discover more homeless people and families in the airport, and a bird that keeps trying to leave. This book describes a lot about what homeless people have to go through. This is a really good book with great life lessons, like being thankful for what you have. People who have been homeless or know people who are might be very affected by this book.

I thought this was a great book! It had me dancing in my head! This book has the lyrics explained, so I actually know what Pharrell is actually saying

This was a great book! So Hayley is now hanging out with Meghan all the time because Artie has permanently ditched her for her new drama friends. And Devon; her crush is currently dating Artie, but flirts with Hayley. One day after school when Hayley is walking home with Meghan...because of Halloween coming up, Meghan decides to steal a pumpkin which gets them ending up in a police car. Her dad's girlfriend: Annie has also invited Chloe and Hayley to eat with Annie's parents at an elegant country club for Thanksgiving, which Hayley is ultimately dreading. And in the midst of all of this, Hayley is "helping" Marco with Math, which lands her in trouble again...

WOW, this book was really good... I wasn't surprised how Cynthia Voigt started out all mysterious... but it was a fun easy relaxing book... the plot was on point and "Mister Max" was very mature and a problem solver.. I really enjoyed this book and even my brother liked the book too, so I guess this easy read was a win-win. :-)... and plus you have all these questions forming in your head wanting to read more and more... I hope you guys will enjoy this book too!

This is a very educational book and it helped my 3rd grade sister not lie so often. I definitely recommend it for older siblings to teach their younger siblings to always be honest and truthful.

Mattie dreads 5th grade. She's been hopped around so many times, she can't keep count! So, she decides to try to become an assistant to her uncle, the janitor, while she has to make sure that Quincy Sweet, her next-door neighbor, doesn't get in her way. So when she starts writing stories about her missing button on her pajamas, Moe, and when her uncle trips on a wire to the vacuum, while she is stuck in the prinical's office, everything turns upside down, until the day she starts 5th grade. The teacher has EVERYBODY introduce herself, instead of just her, because she's the new kid. This is an awesome story, with an awesome ending! Everyone should read it!
