Wild Card

falconmedia — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:00:13 +0000

A pair of twins are on a football team. They have lost two games, but are on a winning streak now. They have lost their best kicker who helped them win their last game. The kicker is benched for academic reasons. The team needs him back as soon as possible. With the playoffs coming, they will need a miracle. My favorite character is Tiki because he never gave up. He is a hard worker. [Haha12]

Pick-Up Game: A Full Day of Full Court

Caesar,Waco, ESPN, Nique, and Shane play basketball at the West 4th Street court known as “The Cage” in New York City. Some TV people come and they get into a debate about who gets to use the court. They play against each other to see who gets it. My favorite character is Waco because he is quiet, but interesting. I liked it when Caesar got mad at Waco and punched and slapped him in the face.

Surviving Stunts and Other Amazing Feats

Daredevils are performing crazy stunts all over the world. For example, a guy ate metal and not normal food.
A karate instructor broke 8 bricks in half. One of my favorite scenes was when a guy was free running. My favorite character is Juha-Mati Rasanen, who has superhuman strength. What surprised me was a guy that was water skiing with his feet and gripped the rope with his mouth. Danny Way jumped over the Great Wall of China while skateboarding. [oooo]

Crash

falconmedia — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 13:06:22 +0000

What happens is there is a boy and he plays football and a new boy moves in down the street. The new boy lives in a garage house and the football player (Crash) says, “Why didn’t you get a better house?” Then the dad told him, “Life is not money or looking good, it’s about family and love.”

It was the best book ever!! I read this a while back, it’s still my #1 book in the world, and we have it at Oakland Mills Middle library!! [IloveJelly!!]

Cal Ripken Jr., Quiet Hero

Lois Nicholson wrote a wonderful book on Cal Ripken Jr.’s life. The first chapter is about the 1991 All-Star game in Toronto, Canada. That was the year he won the Homerun Derby. The book goes on to talk about his young life and his early years in the minor leagues, all the way up to 1993 in the major league. The book also includes his MLB career statistics.

I really enjoyed this book about Cal Ripken Jr. It explained how he used to go to the ballpark with his dad. It also described his minor league career and other interesting facts about him. I honestly feel that this book could not have had any more information about Cal’s life and career. I suggest this book to all O’s fans. [ AGA]

Football Genius

Troy White is an amazing football player. He also has a special ability to read defenses. Unfortunately, Jamie Renfro’s dad is the coach of his football team. That means Jamie gets to be the first string quarterback. When Troy loses a bet to Jamie, he needs to find a Falcon’s football. Troy and his friends steal a football from the Falcon’s middle linebacker. That is when the trouble begins.

I liked this book because Troy has to keep on trying to get what he wanted. Also, it shows good teamwork between Tate, Nathan, Troy, and Seth to get the Falcons back on track. This book is very good. I highly suggest that you read it! [AGA]

Boost

This book is about two sisters. One of them wants to make the basketball team and the other wants to make the cheerleading squad. There is something wrong. The one who wants to join the squad is told she is too big and the basketball team thinks the other sister is too big as well.

I liked this book because the sisters didn’t give up. The one who joined the basketball team kept trying out for different teams. The other one who wanted to join the cheerleading squad worked hard to get a spot on the team. [ILoveSnickers]

The Story of Baseball

falconmedia — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 13:35:06 +0000

This non-fiction book is split into two parts. Part one is about baseball’s history. Part two is about fielding, batting, strategy, and things along those lines. I think that this book is great not only because of the little milestones, but also because it starts from the beginning of baseball’s history and ends through the 1990′s. It truly represents the history of baseball.

This book was an awesome stat-filled book. For example, did you know that in 1920 Babe Ruth hit 54 homeruns? That was more than any other team hit in total that year. Also, did you know that Bob Feller started his MLB career at the age of 17? I strongly recommend this book to all stat-loving baseball fans. [Baseball Trivia Master]
