This book was sad and funny at times . If you like sad and funny books and also dog books you would love this book! I would not stop reading this book when I read it. Now I am starting to read a lot of books in this series.

What would you do if you found out information that could risk someone's life? Would you keep it to yourself or would you tell someone? The title of my book is Payback Time the author is Carl Deuker. The book takes place in a big city called Philadelphia and on a football field. The main character's name is Daniel but everyone calls him Mitch because they think he looks like the Michelin Man. He is a reporter for the Lincoln Light. His best friend in the story is a girl named Kimi. She is the school photographer for the Lincoln Light. Mitch and Kimi also submit their stories about the school football games to the sports editor, Chet the Jet, at the Seattle Times. Their stories are usually about a cornerback named Angel Marichal. Angel is a great player but doesn’t get a lot of playing time. Mitch doesn’t understand why Coach McNulty doesn’t play him a lot. Also, Chet the Jet always cuts the parts about Angel out of the stories Mitch sends him. Mitch decides he wants to find out why. Mitchs calls the town where Angel is from but gets a bad feeling from the person he is talking to. Mitch doesn’t give him a lot of information except that Angel now goes to Lincoln High. Mitch couldn’t shake the bad feeling he had. He went to Coach McNulty to ask questions. Coach said to meet me at a local restaurant and he would tell me everything. Coach told Mitch that when Angel was around 12 he saw 2 gangs have a shoot out. There was a boy in the middle of the shoot out and was hit. Angel ran over and pulled the boy to safety but it was too late. The boy died. Angel told the cops who the gang members were and they went to jail. Now the other gang members are after Angel to kill him. Mitch realizes the guy he talked to must be part of the gang. He now needs to figure out how to fix what he has done. Mitch realizes that the gang will come to the championship gang to hurt Angel. The players tunnel is the best place for the gang to corner him. Mitch sees the gang car in the parking lot next to the back fence. Before the game Mitch silently crawled along the back fence to the car. Then he laid down under the car and the doors opened. He waited for the gang members to get back into the car then he put a knife into one of the tires. He left the knife in the tire until it slowly went flat. Mitch then silently crawled back along the fence and went to the game. Lincoln High won the game. Mitch was still nervous that something bad was going to happen. After the game he went to the players tunnel to see if everything was ok. When everyone was coming out Angel and Coach McNulty were the last to come out. They said their goodbyes to each other. When it was all over Mitch went to his car, looked over at the gang car and saw the guys trying to fix their flat tire. Mitch felt like a hero for saving Angels life. Angel moved away and we never saw the gang members again. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves suspenseful or action/sports books. This book had a lot of twists and turns. There were a lot of surprises. They did a great job of going into detail about the football games as they happened.

This is actually very interesting to me! I love it about how it involves baseball, and basically...sports!

I really LOVE these books I read all of them up to 29 if you have never read the cupcake diaries series then I recommend. The first is about Katie going to her friend in the mean and popular group which is hard.And the second book is about Mia getting invited to the mean girls group. And I think you should discover the third book on your own. I think I will give this a 5 star.

I LOVE this book it's a mystery and sometimes things can be too good to be true. Its mostly about a girl named Cat. She fell off a tree when she was bird watching or I think studying a bird until she fell and got a concussion.

I love the Dork Diaries series. I it my favorite series EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved this book! It was impossible to put it down. Necromancy is not something I would read about, but this book made me love it. The story was unique and kept me hooked. It moved at a natural pace, making an easier read than an unbearably slow or overly fast book. THe characters were highly realistic which made them easy to relate to. Luke and Elza felt like real high schoolers which made them much easier to connect to. Overall, this book is definitely going on my favorites shelf. Ten out of ten would read again.

The book Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt was the best realistic fiction book you could ever choose to read! When I read the first few chapters of the book I was already heartfelt. It made me want to continue to read to the end. I truly fell in love with this book. If I were to rate this book from one to ten I would definitely give it a ten. In my opinion this book was a great book to sit down with and enjoy. The reason is because it made me feel I was in the actual story. who finally meets his new foster brother named Joseph. Jack already knows three things about Joseph. Joseph almost killed a teacher. He was incarcerated at a place called Stone Mountain. Joseph has a daughter named Jupiter. Even though Joseph is a scary and dangerous fourteen year old he tries to find his daughter that he has never even seen. Joseph and Jupiter were separated, and Joseph was only able to see her once. It's pretty sad to think if Jupiter was your daughter and you only saw her once in your life. You wouldn't feel great. I think an audience that loves sad books and a little of suspense would love the book Orbiting Jupiter. The story itself was a roller coaster ride. The story starts out with a young and shy twelve year old, who is the main character, who finally meets his new foster brother named Joseph. Jack already knows three things about Joseph. Joseph almost killed a teacher. He was incarcerated at a place called Stone Mountain. Joseph has a daughter named Jupiter. Even though Joseph is a scary and dangerous fourteen year old he tries to find his daughter that he has never even seen. Joseph and Jupiter were separated, and Joseph was only able to see her once. It's pretty sad to think if Jupiter was your daughter and you only saw her once in your life. You wouldn't feel great. I think an audience that loves sad books and a little of suspense would love the book Orbiting Jupiter.

Real Mermaids Don't Wear Toe Rings is a story about a girl, Jade who discovers that she can transform into a mermaid. Her dad tells her that her mom was a mermaid, too, but they both wonder one thing - how did Jade's mom drown if she was a mermaid capable of breathing underwater? Jade soon finds out that there are more people like her, but not all of them are good. She sets off on an adventure to find the truth about her mom, while she deals with her mermaid transformations. This is a book about relationships, challenges, and hope.

I love this story it teaches girls and twins about friendship,sisters and it is the funniest book I read.It was so funny I feel of my chair.
