dirt bike racer

One of the books I read from the author Matt Christopher is called Dirt Bike Racer. The book began at Ron's house. One day he went scuba diving and he saw a dirt bike. Then two weeks later he went back to see if it was still there. Then Matt took it with him home and his dad helped him fix it. In the middle of the story they heard something in Ron's garage. The neighbor saw it, too, and he called the cops. They were in the garage and they found screws on the floor from the dirt bike. The thief was going to steal parts of the dirt bike. I like this story because I like to ride dirt bikes. You can go off ramps and to do flips and back flips. This author, Matt Christopher, seems to like sports just like me such as football, baseball and dirt biking. It was exciting for Ron to find a dirt bike in the ocean. If you read this book you would like it as much as I did!

The best book ever

I enjoyed this book because the Author did a great job in writing it. It was hard for me to put the book down. I would recommend it to anyone who likes dirt bikes such as I do.

Dirt Bikr Racer

My recommendation for this novel is if you are a type of kid that likes dirt bikes, enjoy having fun and going scuba diving then this is a book for you because it has both. Mike and Tony spend all afternoon working on the dirt bike. This is a book for you because that is that type of book it is there is a YZ 80 in this book. "Let me take it to my garage because we have a bigger area and we can start getting to work on right away." Also there is scuba diving in this book. " Didn't you have your depth gauge with you yes or no." "Yes." This book is good for ages 10 and older. The novel is Dirt Bike Racer By Matt Christopher.

Dirt Bike Racer Review

I would recommend this book for anyone in to dirt bikes because its tell about the struggle to be a Dirt Bike Racer. This is an exciting story. "The bike almost left me sitting there on the dirt as it sprang under me like a live animal." Also, this book has many more exciting parts such as, " Terror gripped me as both came up on it, side by side. Then, fearing that we'd collide while making the turn." These are just a few of the exciting parts of the book Dirt Bike Racer. In conclusion, if you are interested in dirt bikes or exciting books, read the exciting book Dirt Bike Racer.
