Super Mario

I would recommend this book because it made you want to turn the page because the way he used the words in the book. This book showed me that Mario was a devoted person and how much he cared about people. The book inspired me to never give up on anything that you enjoy doing. When you hear about people caring so much it makes you want to be like them.
