Read this book!

This is one of the first books that I read for pure enjoyment. It's about a boy named Dennis O'Mally, 13, in the 6th grade who gets a snowboard for Christmas. When his parents say that they have already done their Christmas shopping, but one of his best friends had gotten him a snowboard. Read this book, it is awesome! (written by Alex, age 9)

A Must Read Snowboard Maverick

The book I read was Snowboard Maverick by Matt Christopher. It's about a kid named Dennis who loves to skateboard. The only problem is that he lives in Moorsville which is a ski resort so he can only skateboard in the summer. Last winter all his friends were having fun, snowboarding and he was stuck inside because he didn't have one. But this year his mom, dad and two friends bought him one. Now he's doing awesome for a beginner! One day a school bully challenges him to race down the intermediate slope and Dennis is just a beginner! Will Dennis chicken out, lose or even worse, get badly hurt? To find out read this book. I would recommend this book to friends.

Outstanding Dennis

This book was a great inspiration to me. I am a big fan of Matt Christopher and Snowboard Maverick had to be the best one yet. It is about a boy named Dennis O'malley. He was the best skateboarder in town until winter came. He was all alone in winter. Then he saw a snowboard and wanted to try it. When Christmas came he got a snowboard for Christmas. He practiced and practiced and got better and better. There are a few morals to the story. When you practice enough you will be great at something. Conquer your fear of hights and fears of breaking any bones.This book was a great book and a good learning experiense.
