The Million Dollar Race- A Book Review!

 



My copy of The Million Dollar Race by Matthew Ross Smith


Say hello to your new comma! This week we are going to talk about The Million Dollar Race, a competitive but funny novel for all those who cherish friends and family, but also love the passion of sports. I know you all are probably excited to get started, so I won't keep you waiting!

The Million Dollar Race is a novel about a boy named Grant Falloon, a boy who's really good at track. He's so good, he's close to beating the world record time for his age group. One day, Babblemoney Sneaker Company launches an international competition to find who the fastest kid runner in the world is, and guess who signing up? Grant. But it's not that easy with his family. He soon finds out the hard way that his family didn't get him a legal birth certificate. He can't represent the United States in the race. But if he really wants to compete, then the only option is... to create his own country. 

If you feel like you should immediately read this book, this is your time! Go read it a million times, just like I did.

Have a great rest of your day,

The Weekend Comma

Schooled- A Book Review!

Image
  My copy of Schooled by Gordon Korman Good morning, good night, readers! In this little comma, we're going to review a humorous but inspiring book called Schooled, where a boy is suddenly thrown into middle school after years of homeschooling. I just got this book, and once I read it, it was so good that I just had to share it with you too! Let's get into it! Capricorn, otherwise known as Cap, lives at a commune at Garland Farm with his hippie grandma. At least, he used to. He's never tasted pizza, never heard of a wedgie, never had any friends, and he never, ever, expected to be thrown into Claverage Middle School, (otherwise known as C Average Middle School). He was one of the biggest nerds there, with long hair and hippie clothes. So when he turns into eighth grade president as a traditional school joke, he is more confused than anything. But soon, that joke turns into something inexplicably more... Doesn't this book seem really cool too you? I hope you read it very...

  My copy of A Rover's Story by Jasmine Warga Hello! Perfect day to read your new comma, isn't it? Today seems like a good time to snuggle up with a good book and relax after the week's happenings. This is a heartwarming, beautiful story about a rover who wasn't supposed to adapt human feelings, but that wasn't the case... you must be intrigued, as I am, and I already read this book! Let's start our little introduction to this novel. Resilience, a Mars Rover, wasn't expected to get human feelings. He was expected to go to Mars, then come back. But unexpected things happen. While he was being built by the NASA scientists, he developed them naturally. But he was launched into space soon enough, and was accompanied by his drone buddy, Fly. With millions of computers and humans tracking him, he roved on Mars. But challenges occurred, some of them leading to the rover going into... silence. Will Resilience have the courage and strength to survive on Mars? I want ...
