I read the book Rucker Park Setup by Paul Volponi. The book is about basketball and J.R. and Mackey are in a basketball tournament at Rucker Park. They are playing for the Greenbacks and one day they are playing someone comes up and stabbed J.R. I will tell you no more.
I thought that it was a pretty good book and I iked it because it is about baseball. Paul R. 13

The Hockey Machine

 
I thought the hockey machine was a very good book. it was full of a lot of suspense,and if you read this book you will definitely want to read more.

The Hobbit

The Hobbit is a good si-fi fantasy horror book. It is about a hobbit (someone shorter that a dwarf) that goes on a quest to find treasure and slay a dragon. He succeeded on getting the treasure, but not killing the dragon.

Bunnicula

Are you ready for a laugh-out-loud version of the spooktakular? Then James and Deborah Howe's series about the vampire bunny is one you'll definitely want to check out! From the snappy dialogue to the hilarious mistakes of one high-strung cat, this book is a joy from beginning to end. And best of all, there are lots more in the series!

The Stone Child

This books main character, Eddie Fennicks, is in love with horror books and is thrilled when he finds out his family is moving to his favorite authors home town. They arrive in town with an unexpected car crash , a superstitious tow man, and to make things worse, all the townspeople believe in the Olmstead Curse (the author of the horror books) and don't take to kindly to newcomers. Eddie doesn't mind and soon finds himself with a new friend and life is going well. But suddenly he finds a book, Olmsteads last book before he disappeared, and Eddie suddenly finds himself among hooded figures,moving shadows, a woman from the dark lands, and a stone child with a book.

I thought this book was a good read and (for me) was a fairly short book. Their is horror in the book but it was fairly light (no nightmares for me), but it did have some gruesome descriptions of the creatures that hunt Eddie in the woods.

Cat Running

            This book was about a girl named Cat Kinsey and she is really fast and won the fifth grade race last year. Now this year everyone wants heer to run in the sixth grade race. She was originally planning on running it and then she found out thaat everyone one was wearing slacks.So then she asked her parents if she could weeaar slacks and her dad said no. She was so upset that she decided not to participate in the sixth grade run. I didn't really like this book because it was kind of boring and didn't have enough detials.

Home of the Braves by: David Klass

     This book is about Joe Brickman the captian of Lawndale High Schools soccer team. The Lawndale braves have like never won a soccer game. This year a student from Brazil come to play soccer. Joe hates this guy because he is dating the girl he has liked forever. When Antonio the guy from Brazil starts playing on the soccer team they start winning. With all of the teams wins it draws bigger crowds and more publicity. By the end of the book something so surprising happens you wouldn't even believe what you just read. I liked this book  because of the way he keeps you so interested in it.
