This month I read the book “nothin’ but net” by Matt Cristopher. This book is about Tim Daniels can’t wait to go to summer basketball camp. He’s sure he’ll shine on the court. But then he learns that his friend Billy will be going to camp with him. Billy is a good guy, but kind of flabby and not much of a basketball player, and Tim is worried that Billy will drag him down, a concern that seems to come true their first week at camp when Billy becomes the butt of practical jokes. Will Tim choose to stick by his friend, or will his desire to be accepted by the popular players make him turn his back on Billy?
I recommend reading this book because it’s a fast-paced action packed story based on basketball. Also, I recommend reading this book because it is about making new friends and learning how to play basketball. Finally, I recommend reading this book because Will have to choose either his friend or popularity.
My favorite character is Tim. Tim is my favorite character because he is willing to not be popular to be with his Friend rather than being popular and having random friends. Also, Tim is my favorite character because he does not give up even when he losing. Finally, Tim is my favorite character because he’ll stick up for his friends.
My Favorite quote is “just because he’s small, doesn’t mean he can’t hoop.” Also, this is my favorite quote because after he said this the short kid got a rebound going against a tall guy. Finally, this is my favorite quote because he was the shortest and weakest kid yet he got a award for best playmaker.
