I'm a boy who has always been interested in flight. This is a great book because it really leads you through all of the experiences Viki Van Meter had. I could almost see Greenland from the cockpit of the plane! This book was so good that I want to take flying lessons. I think that anybody that is interested in what it is like to fly should read this book. Like I said before it's GREAT!

Hi!. My name is Peter. Our Dad takes us flying in a Cessna 180 and I can tell you that Vicki really captures the spirit and adventure of aviation.

My Dad let us stay up late several nights because we just couldn't put this book down. During the day, I even took it to nursery school.

I really liked the part about how Vicki keeps flying the plane even when she gets airsick in all the turbulence.

She makes my sister and me want to live a life full of adventure. We think Vicki is a great girl. She is amazing.

By following her story, she will inspire you to do amazing things, too.

I really enjoyed this book because I want to become a pilot when I am old enough. It was a book that once I picked it up, I just couldn't put it down! Once it even made me have to (or want to; more likely want!) go to sleep at 12 Midnight! I found it when reshelving books at school and I just couldn't wait to start reading it. (which was around lunchtime) I really hope you enjoy it and good luck to/in your possible aviation career from being inspired from this book. I have wanted to fly for a while! Bye. (or an even better thing:buy!)

Gutman has written a clear, concise book about figure skating. It has biographies on today's skaters, skating history and wonderful photos (both black and color). It has lists of competitions and their winners. However, you may want to read something a little more recent. But it's still a great read!

Is just as informative to adults as adolescents as both an outstanding introduction and detailed insight into figure skating. Gutman has virtually every sentence count and wastes few, if any words, in this succinct book. Touches a little of everything only to fire your interest even more. Probably best for countless engaging facts and trivia. Difficult to imagine another book on skating where you can learn any more in the same number of pages. American translation: Lots of fun to read.

Dan O'brien is a inspirational athlete and a great person. Not only has he survived the hurdles thrown at him in his life, he excelled past them to truly beat the odds. What is so great about this athlete? He is honest. In his past he has done drugs, drank alcohol in the excess of becoming an alcoholic, and partied a bit too much. Yet he admits it. He not only was ashamed of his past but knew that he need to turn his life around. He did it with the help of longtime coach Mike Keller and excelled not only on the track but in life also. It takes a big man to admit he is a failure. But it takes a bigger man to change his ways. Not only did Dan O'brien do both of these thing; he also became the Worlds Greatest Athlete of all time!!

Thirteen-year-old Robert Stevens, known as Qwerty for the mistake he made in his third grade keyboarding class, unearths in his backyard a large mysterious wooden box that has the name Thomas Edison inscribed with gold lettering.

Qwerty and his best friend Joey who lives in West Orange, New Jersey in a community called Llewellyn Park bordering the mansion that Edison once lived in,locked themselves in his room to discover what was in the aged box. To their surprise, it was Thomas Edison's time Machine.

Unsure whether to give the machine to the authorities, sell it for millions, or take it to school to show off to their friends, the boys decided to find out how the time machine works before bringing it out of obscurity.

Qwerty hooked up the wires from the machine to his computer and with a touch of a button he was transported into Thomas Edison's workshop where he helped him develop the electric light bulb. Qwerty Stevens had no problem getting there. However, he needs his older sister, whom he hardly says more than one word to, to help him return home safely.

The author cleverly depicts Edison's story while adding circumstances that bring his character into the 21st century. In addition to the text, Gutman includes a "Truth and Lies" section in the back of the book with one recommendation "Read the story first!" Also included are black and white photographs of Edison's mansion and laboratory. In the far back of the book is the chronology of Thomas Edison. Younger children will also enjoy this book as a great read aloud. Living in the next town over from West Orange, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book because the author captured the authenticity of the town. Children everywhere will enjoy this book but I know it will be a big hit in New Jersey.

I read all the "...and Me" books and this one was definitely the best. It had the biggest plot twist in the series that REALLY surprised me.

Dan Gutman has done it again with "The Million Dollar Kick", a sequel to "The Million Dollar Shot".

I know Dan Gutman through e-mails, I once met him at my school two years ago in Oklahoma City.

The character in this book "Carmen Applegate" was the name of my librarian at my elementary school. Also, another small character "Dan Mills" is the librarian at my middle school. "Bobbie Frisk" is the name of a teacher in the same district, though I have to tell you I don't her.

Please try to read all of Dan Gutman's books, they are very good, and I am sure you will enjoy them.

And also go to [their website] and find out about Dan's books, do some cool activities, read some of his rejection letters for "Honus & Me", and a lot more cool stuff!

This book, although not my grade level, and no I am not retarted nor slow(just type 4 words a minute....j/k), but it is funny and teaches you about the government and stuff. It is about a kid named JUDSON MOON who runs for president with some old lady as his vice president, she's black, he also has his friend help him out.

I was assigned to read this book for a school reading project. I started reading and thought the book would be boring because I'm usually not into those kind of books, I'm more of a fantasy reader. I read the book in one day! The story is of 12-year old Judson Moon. He runs for President of the United States as a "goof." But his friend, Lane Brainard, is serious about the election. He becomes Moon's supervisor. Almost against his will, Moon is a candidate for President 2000. You will love Moon's hilarious campaign antics. Stay tuned for the surprise ending!

Honus & Me By: Dan Gutman Would you like to read a book about Honus Wagner? What about baseball history? Well here it is. The book is Honus & Me. It is a very interesting book with a lot of facts about Honus Wagner. Joe Stoshack loves baseball. One day when cleaning up his next store neighbors basement Joe found a Honus Wagner card, the most valuable card in the world! In the middle of the night Joe wakes up and face to face with him is Honus Wagner. Now they will go to the past with Honus Wagner. They will go on the one of the greatest journeys ever.

This is a great book! First, Honus comes to the future to meet Joe Stoshack and then they both go back to Honus's time. Joe gets his dream and gets to play in a professionall game. At the end something REALLY COOL happens. I encourage all kids who are interested in baseball to read this book. P.S. I'm not giving any more away otherwise I would ruin the surprise!

When a boy finds a VERY RARE baseball card in someone's attic, he is faced with the decision whether to return it or not. There are only 40 of these cards in the world! With this card he is able to meet the baseball star Honus Wagner. He goes back in time and finds himself an adult, bats for Honus Wagner because Honus's hand was hurt, and actually hits a home run! I am no baseball fan, but I have read ALL of Dan's books about baseball and loved them, and this was probably my favorite. P.S. This has a surprising ending, which is really cool, but I'll let you find out about that for yourself!

I got this book on easter and knew from the start that it was going to be good. If you like adventurous, mysterious, exiting, and sports like books read Shoeless Joe and me. Best of all it's aseries so if you like it you can keep on going!

This great science-fiction novel is a real thriller to any reader. It captures you in the timeless adventure of the Black Sox Scandal of 1919. Joe Stoshack is just an ordinary kid, until he realizes that he has an amazing power -- the ability to travel through time! His ticket to the past, a simple baseball card from the year he wishes to travel. Joe Jackson and the Chicago White Sox look to be big favorites to win the World Series against Cincinnati, but a few gamblers have different plans. The gamblers "fix" the World Series. Which results in Joe Jackson (and seven other players) being banned from baseball for being connected with the "fix". When Joe Stoshack learns of Shoeless Joe's innocence, he decides to go back in time and try to save the all-star. Will his plan work, and change the fate of Shoeless Joe, or will history remain as it is today? Read this great book to find out what happens.

It was a excellent book! I will read it many more times.

When he hears that there was a shot for a million dollars he wrote a poem and sent it in. When he got a letter in the mail he was amased he had won the contest. I think the book was amasing.

In the book, "The Million Dollar Shot", a boy named Eddie Ball sends in an entry to a poetry contest but he doesn't win.
