I didn't read this book, but I did read Ace Hits the Big Time. I rated it a 5 only b/c the review program MADE me rate it. For those of you who want a summery of THIS book, here it is (it took me awhile to find it):

Summary: Teenage movie actor Horace "Ace" Hobart and his New York gang, the Purple Falcons, get involved in live theatre and an arson plot when they take summer jobs at a home for retired actors.

They found each other because of French. Melissa spoke it, and Paul was it: an exchange student from France on a three-week visit to the United States. And although neither of them was looking for love, that's exactly what they found.

Suddenly, Melissa no longer felt like "nothing with nobody." Paul wasn't just handsome, he was kind and funny, manly and mysterious. What mattered most was being able to stay together--always. But no one thought it was possible--except Melissa and Paul.

"...a good romance with a happy ending."

Ace Hits the Big Time, was about a young adult who had to go to school and he had to wear a black big eye patch, and one day he came along and a group of people wanted him to be in the puple funanals group, then one day he said that he wanted to be one of them. This is the ovview of the book called Ace Hits the Big Time.

The book Fly Like an Eagle is not very exciting and does not have any action, and that is what I like in a book. That is why I rated it a three. If the book had more action and more exciting parts, I would have liked it better. The book was not as bad as some books I have read but it was not great either. I like the book because he cheats on his girl friend while he is on his trip.

Fly Like an Eagle is about a teenager named Ace whose father takes him on a road trip across the country to try and find his (Ace's) real grandfather. Ace's dad was left in an orphanage after his mother died, and is now determined to find his birth father. At first Ace isn't too keen on the idea of leaving his home and spending his summer in a yellow Volkeswagon, but his father takes him on a trip he'll never forget. To find out what happens, read Fly Like an Eagle. You might be surprised.:)
