  7. Great Job! I really got a sense of what the book was like by reading your review. I like how you described the book by saying it is an outstanding book and it keeps you hanging with amazement. If I was the kid Nate in this book i would be very nervous, but I would also be really excited to participate in this activity. I really like sports books and this sounds like a really good one to read.
