This book is getting very good. Terrell is being offered so many things that would be against the rules of the NCAA if they find out. He is getting offered money from agents, and everyone wants to e his best friend just because he will play in the NBA soon. I would do the exact smae thing Terrell is doijg if I were him, which is ignore them, and don't accept any "gifts".

I am really worried about Terrell. He has disappeared from the basketball tournament. I can relate to this because I have read many other books where guys have ruined their basketball or sports careers by making bad decisions with the wrong groups of people.

I really like this book a lot. I can relate to this book to a book that I read earlier called Play Their Hearts Out. They are both about AAU which is short for Amateur Athletic Union.

The Dear Grove Falcons, the underdog of the whole tournament are now playing for the State Championship Game in the A Division. I really like the coach of the Cedar Grove Falcons because his style of coaching is to not yell at his players. To me that would be my favarotie style of coaching.

Jack has finally found out why his dad had been so hard on him and mean to him in his early life. The reason that his dad was hard on him is he nearly killed two tourists while drunk driving when he was younger. I can see why his dad would be hard on him, but I think his dad took it a little too far with all of the restrictions. Now Jack and his dad are freinds, and i'm happy about that.

This book is really good. I think that the author does a really good job of describing things. At one point in the story, he went on a whole page about tone move that the guy did and it really helped me imagine the move in my head. Jack is a star basketball player at a small school in rural Indiana. Only two games into the season he has already broken a single game scoring record. Abruptly, his coach cuts him.

The book is coming to an end, but it is still good. Marcus is spending more time with his family because he is in his last two weeks before going to prison. I think that it is very cool that he is finally putting his family first instead of basketball. I agree with his decision.

The cops have finally arrested Eddie for the robbings of many people. Now it is coming down to if Marcus or Eddie will throw each other under the bus. To me, this book is at its climax right now. I think this because the whole book is going to come down to if they hold true to their promises to each other. I predict that Eddie is going to get out of this whole mess because he has a better lawyer, and he is lying.

In my book two high school kids, one is black and one is white have had a very long friendship. They are stars in both football and basketball. I could not believe the book when the cops found out about them accidentally shooting a man. In this book I always am finding myself saying to myself son't do that, or why in the world would you do that. So far this book has kept me on the edge of my seat with all the action.

This book has been very good. I love how the author has been describing everything very well. I predict that soon Jay will become the star of the new basketball league that he is currently playing in. I also believe that Jay will start becoming more immature because it would be hard to stay mature by yourself as a high school student.

I feel very bad for Jay because he did not make the varsity basketball team. I know how it feels to not make a team or be on the b team, and it does not feel very good. To add onto that his mom left the house when he was just nine years old. I could not imagine growing up without a mother. I really hope and think that things will start looking up again for Jay.

Jay is a senior in high school, and needs to make the varsity basketball team. I ca relate to Jay because when I get to high school I would really like to be on the Varsity Basketball team. I am predicting that Jay is going to make the team because from what the book says it seams like he is a good player.

The book is getting to it;s end and I think that it is at it's best! Khalid has finally got a lawyer to try to get him out of Guantanamo Bay. I predict that Khalid will be freed from this prison in the near future. I believe that giving Khalid a lawyer is what they should've done when they first captured him. I wonder if the prison will ever shut down due to its torture of many prisoners. I hope it does.

The book has not had a lot of action for a while. He has been in the same prison, Guantanamo Bay, for a year. A good part of the book is the author really describes how bad the torture is that the prisoners get. If I were Khalid I do not know how I would deal with what he is going through. Although, I do not think I would handle it the way he has been handling it. For while he was just going crazy in his cell.

Khalid was wrongly accused of being part of Al-Qaeda, and has been beaten up in multiple different prisons, and is now in what many people consider the worst prison in the world. As a 15 yr. old I could not imagine what Khalid is going through. I feel so bad for Khalid because he is a kind person and would never do what he has been accused of doing. He even donated money to 9/11 refugees before he went to prison.

I just started the book today, and there has not been very much action so far. The main character Khalid is a fifteen year old boy, and his "mates" because he lives England or friends drink beer and smoke cigarettes regularly. I could not imagine doing that at such a young age. Also, the year is 2001, and 9/11 just happened. Since he is muslem he is worried about being accused of wrong things.

This book is getting to its end, and it is just awesome! I love how much detail the author, John H Ritter, puts into his writing. He elaborates on everything that he writes. He describes all the scene so well and how the characters are feeling.

I think that I am in the climax of the book right now. I think that I am in the climax because Billee and Stats are trying to break the curse by "resetting" the balance of Fenway Park. I really like Billee as a person because he is a star baseball player, but he is also an awesome person.

Billee and Stats have confirmed that the curse on the Boston Red Sox is real. I love Stats. I can make a connection between Stats and me because I love to record stats of baseball, basketball, and football. I think that they will stop the curse and the Red Sox will be very good.

This book is very interesting so far. A twelve year old fanatic of the Boston Red Sox with the nick name of Stats thinks he has just found out that there is a curse on the Red Sox. I am very excited to keep reading because there are so many clues that have been leading up to the curse. I think that Stats and a pitcher of the Red Sox Billee are going to attempt to stop the curse on the team.

Sarah was found by the media, and now everyone wants to have an interview with her. Ruslan also found his dad. I feel very good for Ruslan, but I do not feel as good for Sarah because she hasn't found her sad yet.

Ruslan just found out that the rebels that captured him earlier were his relatives. The leader of the group is his step-uncle. I think that Ruslan is going to join the rebels in honor of his family members.

Another character, Sarah is stranded on an island after her family had been on a boat vacation. Also Ruslan is being held up by rebels that say that they will shoot him. I am very worried about Ruslan because his father told him that the rebels were not good people. They are ruthless.

The book just keeps getting better and better. The team is getting very close to the summit of Mount Everest. Everyone on the team is getting nervous, and worried for their life. I am very excited to see their reactions to getting to the top of the world.

One of the young climbers, Perry got on the team because of his uncle was the founder and president of Summit Athletic, which is the sponsor of the team. Perry did not even want to be on the team, and now his nerves are really getting to him as they get higher up the mountain. Perry is already believing that the mountain will take his life.
