        The book I read is called Skinny Bones. The book is about two boys named Alex and T.J. Stoner. T.J. Stoner is a kid who likes baseball and who brags to everyone saying he is the best, although he is good at baseball. Alex is a kid that is a little leaguer who gets mad when T.J. brags. So when Alex gets mad he tells lies saying he’s the better at pitching then T.J., but he’s lying.

         I loved the book because it got me interested when Alex made up a lie saying he was better then T.J. in pitching. But Alex was lying to get T.J. mad. So Alex didn’t know that T.J. knew how to pitch, so T.J. said ok lets have a pitching competition. But since Alex lied, and he didn’t know how to pitch, he tried to lie out of the competition, but he couldn’t. That’s what got me interested because Alex said he was going to practice and I didn’t know if Alex was going to win!
