The Trading Game

Dear Alfred Slote, The book, ''The Trading Game'' is a magnificent story. It taught me a lesson that not everyone's a hero and that not everyone is correct. andy wanted to have the card with his retired professional baseball Grampa, andy decided to trade a lot of money for his Grampa's card , but at the end andy thought about it and wondered if Ace 459(Grampa's baseball card) was such a hero after all.I love this story and it also taught me a valuable lesson.

The Trading Game

Dear Alfred Slote, I really loved The Trading Game! It is such a great book.I hope there is a sequel. This book has descriptive sentences and a good moment of feeling. I think you are a great writer. This is the first book that I have read from you and loved it. I am glad you have wrote this book. I hope to read more of your books From, Karina

My Robot Buddy

I would recommend the book "My Robot Buddy" for kids who like to read science fiction books. The story takes pace in the future, and it has action from the beginning to the end. The story is about robots that look, talk and act just like people do. If you use your imagination it's not hard to believe that this story could be true someday. The book is only seventy pages long, so someone could read it in a couple of days.

Blast Off For A New Book Friend

I read My Robot Buddy, Jack wanted a robot. On Jack's birthday he got his robot. A man robot-napped the robot and Jack! Read the book to know if they get saved. I thought the book was exciting because a lot of neat things happen to Jack.
