__Getting Air__

In the book I read __Getting Air__ it is summer, and school is out. A boy named Jimmy Zimmerman and his two friends, David, and Henry set off to California where they're going to be able to do major skating. But on the plane the unthinkable happens... they are hijacked by terrorists!! Read the book to see what happens next.

__,__ This is one of the best books I've ever read. My favorite part is when they are hijacked by terrorists because they try to attack the hijackers with boiling water, sewing needles, and an ax. Jimmy Zimmerman reminds me of myself because he likes skating and so do I. He also reminds me of myself because he is a dare devil just like me.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action and skateboarding.

__I Survived__

In class I read a book called I Survived, by Lauren Tarshi. It is about a boy named Chet Roscow. His parents, and him, keep moving from place to place because his dad keeps losing his job. Finally he's feeling at home at Elm Hills, New Jersey. He works at a diner with his Uncle Jerry. He makes three great friends, and it is a perfect summer to go swim at the Matawan Creek. But Chet,and his friends, are interrupted by shocking news! A Great White has been attacking swimmers along the Jersey Shore,not far from Elm Hills. Everyone is talking about it. So when Chet sees something in the creek, he's sure it's his imagination... until he comes face-to-face with a bloodthirsty shark!

I loved this book because I liked the description like  The shark **thrashed** as if it was trying to push itself onto the bank, and His **hammering,** a voice booming through his mind. I also liked this book because it had action in it like  The shark tore his chest as he tried to crawl up the bank. This author knows how to grab a reader - and never let go. That is why I loved this book.

I would recommend this book to any kid, or parent, who likes great description, action, and a sense of humor.
