Perfect Passers by Tim Polzer

Informational
Hey you football fans. If you like playing quarterback in football, you should read this book. My favorite part was when the quarterback Donavan McNabb earned the respect of teammates and opponents when he completed 20 of 25 passes for 255 yards and four touchdowns while playing with a broken ankle. I like that part because Donavan passed with a broken ankle. If any of you love NFL quarterbacks you should read this Book.

Folk Tales
Have you imagined flying? Well this book is about Be Be and Cassie. They were flying and there was a train. Be Be went in the train. Cassie said that mom and dad will be mad at me. You're not suppose to! then the secret agent said to go to the swirly thing in the sky and there will be a world of slaves. Your brother will be there. Then the secret agent said to follow her voice. Cassie found Be Be's cap and squeezed out the mud. The secret agent said to leave it alone. Finally, Cassie found Be Be. I recommend the book for people who like to imagine flying on the swings or something.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid #2: Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney

Graphic Novel/Comic
How many of you have an annoying older brother? Like my last book talk, you don't have to raise your hand or anything. This book talk is an Diary of a Wimpy Kid #2 by Jeff Kinney. My favorite part is where Greg does his report on moose. It's funny because he makes it up. When he's telling about what they eat, he just makes a list of what it doesn't eat. (bubblegum, metal, etc.) I recommend this book to anyone who likes funny realistic fiction.
