Lacrosse Face-off

By: Matt Christopher

Garry and Todd Wallis are two brothers who have different interests.  Todd is a sit-at-home kind of kid and his only form of exercise is lacrosse, while Garry plays lacrosse for the local lacrosse team, the “Rockets.”   Todd had to play lacrosse only because his doctor said he’d become overweight and had to lose a few pounds by exercising. Unfortunately, Todd doesn’t know anything about lacrosse which Garry finds embarrassing.  Garry, Todd and the Rockets have the best player in the lacrosse league, Michael Donofrio, who taunts Todd’s lack of skill and extra weight while Garry struggles with a difficult decision to help Michael or help his brother Todd.  At the end of this book you’ll realize that Todd never gave up and strived to do better.
I recommend this book to everyone because it’s a book that teaches you to stand up for someone that someone doesn’t like and to be like Todd and never give up. This is an easy, short book to read.  I think this book really taught me to never give up and always work hard to become better.  If you finished Lacrosse Face-off and you liked it there is a sequel called Lacrosse Firestorm.

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid  series is all about Greg Heffley who wants to change his personality in school from nerdy to cool. Greg’s best friend, Rowley Jefferson, gets in the way of everything with his comic strip “zoo-wee-momma.” Greg thought it was the most humiliating, and embarrassing thing he’d ever done.  Greg Heffley is your normal 6th Grade firebrand in a local middle school who has to face problems such as Rowley acting like a kid in his first year of middle school, Greg having a crush on Holly Hills, the most popular girl in school, and Greg and Rowley get into some of the biggest fights in the summer.  I recommend this book to everybody because it’s a comedian kid series that’ll rock your socks off, and because Jeff Kinney’s one of the best-selling authors alive.
