This Book Rocks

I love this book because I love snowboarding. In this book, two brothers have a contest to see who is better at snowboarding. Freddie and Donovan tease each other a lot. Donovan won't admit that Freddie is a better athlete. Freddie and his friends all think that he is better than Donovan. I also liked this book because the brothers play pig and I love to play pig. This book is exciting because you don't really know what happens next, things sort of pop out at you when you don't really expect it. You should read this book because it has action and is fun.

book review by Gunnar Wainwright

I liked this book because it was about snowboarding.Well snowboarding is my favorite sport.I rate this book 5 stars for people who like snowboarding.It is about a halfpipe contest. Read it to find out who wins.

Great Book!

Freddie and his big brother, Donavon, are always competing becouse they want to be better than the other one. Donavon dares Freddie to go down a slope that only 2 people have gone down without getting hurt. Freddie goes does on his snowboard. You won't be able to put down this book. It is exciting when Freddie sets up a snowboarding tournament. It is a story of frienship, brotherhoo, and competition. It is really good.

A non-stop snowboarding book with action!

This is a great book for enjoyment reading. Once I started I couldn't stop and I finished in one night! I really liked this book because I love snowboarding, but you don't have to like snowboarding to enjoy this book. It has a mix of brothership and sportsmanship that is emense with action. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a joy for reading and to snowboarders who needs to learn new tricks.

A HOT new Book

I thought the book Snowboard Showdown was great. I liked it because it caught your attention right away. I also liked Snowboard Showdown because it is about a real-life situation. Another reason it grabbed my attention because I love skiing and snowboarding. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in snowboarding, and likes real-life situations.
