Airball: My Life in Briefs Review"Airball: My Life in Briefs," is about Kirby Nickel, a 7th grader who lives with his grandmother and has never seen his mom or dad. Kirby is the Captain of his 7th grade basketball team, and the book tells the story about Kirby and his team as they go through their season with the hope of visiting their hero Brent McGrew. Kirby wants to meet Brent because he thinks that Brent is his dad.
The book starts out at basketball practice and the coach announces that if they have a good season that he will take them to see Brent McGrew when he gets his jersey retired at the University of Kansas. Brent is a famous NBA basketball player who played in Kirby's town when he was younger. Everyone is excited about possibly seeing Brent McGrew, but they are not sure if they will be able to because the team has not been good since Brent McGrew played there. Kirby's coach also was not sure that they would be able to win, so he came up with a plan to have them practice in their underwear.
That week the coach orders uniforms, but he doesn't give it to the team. Instead he makes them practice in their underwear until they get better at basketball and they become a team. They start to play better so for their first game, the coach gives them really nice uniforms. Kirby and his team like the uniforms, but they don't play very well. At halftime, Kirby said that they don't deserve to wear the uniforms so they take their uniforms off and play in their underwear for the second half. In the second half, they come back and win the game so they decide to wear underwear as their uniform for the rest of the season and they win all of their games without their uniforms.
During the season, Kirby finds some clues that Brent McGrew may be his Dad. In Kirby's attic, he found a Brent McGrew jersey, a medal, and a picture of his mom and Brent dancing. He also realized that he and Brent had the same birth mark. So, at the end of the season, when they meet Brent McGrew, Kirby gives him an envelope with all of the clues showing that Brent might be his dad. Brent said that he wasn't the guy in the picture, but the coach took a look at the pictures and said that they were pictures of him. He then realized that he was Kirby's dad. They were happy after that and the book ended with Kirby and his team scrimmaging again Brent McGrew.
I recommend this book to other kids my age because I like basketball and it was funny.

The Sister Switch (Candy Apple) ReviewCaitlin and Andie are excited to start junior high. They are identical twins on the outside but are different in their personalities and interests. Caitlin is an excellent student who has high hopes of being a part of the Jazz Ensemble group, while Andie would rather be on the field kicking the soccer ball.
Olive used to be a close friend of both girls until she went with Andie to soccer camp. Caitlin chose not to go and the other two girls became closer. Caitlin misses that and hopes that someday she and Olive can be best buddies again.
School starts off with a bang: Caitlin has to take a physical fitness test and just knows she won't be able to pass it. It would be a piece of cake for Andie, so just this once, why don't they trade places? It will just be for a day.... Or so the girls think!
The sisters soon realize they are caught in a big mess! Can they get out of it without anyone's feelings being hurt? How will Olive take the news that her best friend has been lying to her?
This is a fun, entertaining book. It kept me anxiously reading to find out who would realize the twins had switched places and what would happen next.
