Travel Team

If you like basket ball then this book is probably for you. At first this book moved pretty slowly. After about 30 page in the book started to pick up and get a little more interesting. Some times when I was reading this book I had lost track of time because I was so interested. If you play basket ball you can most likely relate to this book just by the way they talk about the plays on the court. Also the way they talk about the pros on espn. If you play or like basket ball this book is for you.
     In this book there is a boy named Danny. Danny is trying out for a basket ball team but instead of getting a letter like all of the other kids that he made it or didn't but the coach decided to call him. Danny's parents a divorced and he barely get to see his dad.One day hos dad came home and decided to stay. when he found out that Danny didn't make the team he decides to go out and make his own team with all the other kids who did not make it either. The team of all the kids that didn't make the "good" team had made the "bad" team. Some kids from the "good" team came to play for the "bad" team. Danny's dad had lead the "bad" team to the championship...
     As this book went on it just seemed to keep getting more interesting and more interesting. I wanted to keep reading and not stop.

Blog Book Review

Mel Glenn's The Taking of room 114 grabbed me with its interesting story line. The way he talked as the kids in the situation interested me. He would make the characters write letters about how there freshman year of school was up to their senior year of school. They also wrote another letter on how they felt on the day of the situation or during the situation. When I was reading this book I was very interested to see what the kids had to say about about the situation they were in. I think this was a good book to read. It went pretty fast and was easy to read. To me this was a good book.
