The Boys from MRSA Shoot a Lot of FreeThrows...

As I promised last Friday, I'm going to post the reviews that have been coming in for the March Madness Free Throw Contest. It's almost raining reviews around here!! We've got so many that I've got to make two posts. I'll do the boys first. Now the iron Guy is a gentleman and I ususally let ladies go first, but, since this is a boys' read blog, I'll post theirs first. (BTW, all these reviews are from the third grade classes at the Metrolina Regional Scholars Academy) We have so many that I'll publish them and make comments later. Here we go!!!

I like this series because something is always so exciting:)
I don't like this series because
the books are so short. Right when you think something exciting will happen, the book ends. All of a sudden the book ends.
These books are full of history. At the end there is a little bit of the background from the story.
Samantha has lots of exciting adventure...
