Stumptown Kid.

By Carol Gorman and Ron J. Findley.

You are not going to believe this! There was a tryout for the Wildcat baseball team. There were 3 kids that were trying out for the baseball team. Their names were Lobo, the meanest kid, Charlie, the friendliest, and Luther, the nicest of the 3. The coach was Mr. Hennessey and was also a teacher at the school.

There was a problem with baseball practice, Charlie was having a hard time catching the ball so Lobo started yelling and calling Charlie names. Charlie went to the coach to tell him what Lobo was doing to him.

Coach Hennessey told Lobo to sit on the bench and not to watch practice. Coach Hennessey asked if he had learned a lesson, he said yes, but he did not learn. At the next practice he was back to yelling and calling Charlie names. Since coach saw that he didn’t learn he kicked Lobo off the team.

he character I loved the most was Charlie because he is friendly. The part I really liked was when Lobo was fired.

Yes, I would recommend this book to someone because I think they would like because it's about baseball and trying to make the team.

No Talking

By Andrew Clements


You're not going to believe this! In a school called Laketon elementary, there is a teacher named Mrs. Overby. There are two kids that did a report on India named Lynsey and Dave.

In class when Lynsey and Dave had to read the report on India there was a problem. Dave wanted a day of no talking so he had to come up with a plan. Dave’s plan was to pretend he was sick. For Dave’s plan to work Dave he had to pretend to cough. When they were standing in front of the class, Dave began to cough and act sick.

Since Dave was coughing, Mrs. Overby told Dave to sit down and let Lynsey read the report of India. He was able to keep his day of no talking.

My favorite character in the story is Lynsey because she is nice. My favorite part of the story is when Dave sat at lunch the lunch lady told Dave to stand up and talk and tell why he was not talking to his friends.

I would recommend this book to my friends because I found it funny and I like reading it and think that my friends would like it too.
