I liked Alabama Moon because it makes you feel like you're apart of all the action and drama. This book is about a boy who lived in the forest with his father because they hate the law. Then his father dies and the boy is in the forest by himself. The law was after him and they caught him. What will the boy do next? I recommend that this book be read by 4th grade through 6th graders.

Football Genius by Tim Green
Part I
The Boy's Book Club has read the first part of this book and this is what they think:
Troy, the main character of this book, is in 6th grade and is the second string quarterback on a football team. Although he is a great player, he doesn't get to play much because the first-string quarterback is the son of the team's coach. The other cool thing about Troy is that he has the ability to predict football plays, but his coach won't listen to him. When his mom gets a job at the Atlanta Falcon's football team, he tries to steal one of the footballs because he wants to prove to Seth Halloway, the Falcon's linebacker, that he can really help by telling him the plays of the other team. Will anyone ever listen to Troy????
So, Troy goes to the head coach's office with Seth Halloway and Seth tries to tell the coach that Troy is able to predict football plays. The coach who was watching a pre-season football game, tells Troy to predict plays for that game. But there are no real patterns in pre-season games, so Troy was unable to give him any information that would prove his ability to predict plays.
Troy and Tate go to Seth's house to proved that he can really figure out plays. Seth believed him at first, but since Troy couldn't predict the pre-season plays, Seth was embarrassed in front of Coach Krock. But when Tate and Troy barged into the house they found all of Seth's teammates watching a game. Seth made an agreement with Tate, that if Troy could predict all the plays for that game his mom would get her job back.
Will Troy be able to predict the plays? Will Troy's mom get her job back? Read the book and find out!!
The 6th grade boys book club thinks that alot of girls would not like this book. But they really liked it and recommend that third graders and up would like this book.
