Suitcase

I am a fifth grade student at Waldron Mercy Academy (AJPH.) This book is about an eleven year old boy who is over 6 feet tall and can't play basketball. Everyone calls him Xander. Kids make fun of him because he stinks at basketball and because he is tall. He is always the last one picked for basketball. His dad tells him every day to practice basketball, but he doesn't. Xander is frusterated because kids make fun of him and his dad telling him every day to practice basketball. So instead of him playing basketball he enters the City Spirit Art Festival Competition and won first prize. His whole family was proud of him. After the art festival no one made fun of him again. Everyone was so happy at school because he raised so much money.
