__Alex Rider Scorpia__ By Anthony Horowitz

This book is about a 14 year old boy named Alex Rider, but he is no ordinary teenager. He is a secret agent for MI6 a Secret Agent Service. In this mission he is trying to to find Scorpia,one of the most dangerous criminal organizations in the world. When he finds Scorpia he gets tricked and wants to be a killer just like his dad was.The leader Julia Rothman showed Alex a video of when Alex's dad was shot by MI6, so that's why Alex wanted to become a killer like his dad was.

This book is one of the best books I ever read because it's very descriptive and it leaves you hanging at the end of each chapter. My favorite part is when the SAS attacked Scorpia 's base in Italy.When they got there there, two tasks to do were bring Alex out alive and stop Julia Rothman from launching Invisible Sword ( a plan to kill thousands of schoolchildren in London.)

I recommend this book to 10-15 year olds and people who like Mystery and Action and adventure books.

__Baseball Great__ by Tim Green

This book is about a kid named Josh whose dad was a minor league baseball player, but the baseball team found somebody better, so they let him go. One day Josh is at baseball practice and, his dad said,  Get your glove you are coming with me." Josh didn't know why, but then his dad turned to Coach Miller and said Josh doesn't need to make your team. He's not playing. Turns out his dad got a job with Rocky Valentines youth championship team doing VP sales and wants Josh to play for him. Now Josh is drinking Rocky's Super Stax shakes. Josh is now getting to know the team, but they are older, tougher kids who suddenly become more violent. As Josh gets to know Rocky better, him and his new friend Jaden uncover some nasty secrets he doesn't want to expose. What will Josh do when there is so much at stake? Find out in Baseball Great'' by Tim Green.

My opinion about this book was that this book was very exciting and suspenseful. It was exciting and suspenseful because when Josh and Jaden went to the hospital and saw someone giving the drugs to Rocky and then chasing after Josh and Jaden because they took a picture of someone giving the drugs to him. It got me excited and it was suspenseful. A text to text connection is to the book Football Hero also by Tim Green. My connection is that in Football Hero Ty's uncle is gambling on football teams, and he tricked Ty into getting information about football players injuries from his brother a wide receiver for the New York Jets. In Baseball Great Josh and Jaden are trying to uncover something that Rocky doesn't want to expose, like if he is giving illegal drugs to Josh's teammates. If he is, then who is dealing them to him?

If you like sports, fiction, and a little action then I recommend this book to you! If you are 10-12 years old then you will understand and enjoy this book. You can get this book at your local library or a bookstore like Barnes and Noble.
