Two More Free Throws!

Wouldn't you know? Right after I posted the reviews yesterday, I got two more! One is from our good friend Michael, King of Books and Time Travel and the other is from Ryan. Let's hear from Michael first:

Missle Mouse, book 1

The Star Crusher

by Jake Parker

Agent Missle Mouse is at work! The evil alien Nivlak is stealing a scientist to create a Star Crusher: a deadly device that makes black holes! Only Agent Missle Mouse can stop him. But so many things atand in his way! His arch-rival, Gurne, is on the loose, he's eaten by a space slug, and worst of all, his boss has assigned him a sidekick! What could be worse?!? But this whole Star Crusher idea goes much deeper than it appears. This book goes into a lot of detail, has excellent battle scenes, and reveals Missle Mouses' past. This is the best comic book I've ever read by far; better than Bone even! Check it out today!

Ryan

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS AND THE PERILOUS PLOT OF PROFESSOR POOPYPANTS
by: Dav Pilkey
This book is about two boys (George and Harold) and Captain Underpants. In this fourth book of Captain Underpants, they battle a professor who gets very mad at George and Harold.
Professor Poopypants creates a machine to destroy them!
I liked this book because it was very hilarious.
Will they defeat him or will they get smooshed? Read the book to find out...

Thanks, Michael and Ryan! This, of course, changes the standings. Let's see what the new reults are:

The Boys

Chuck--2 points
Anonymous(I assume this one's a boy)--1
Rick--1
Soccer Shawn--2
Ryan--3
Ninja—3

Michael--6
Davidson--7

The Girls
Arushi--1
LIli--1
liary--1
lexy--1
girl m—1

Ruta-1
oprea--2
Emma--2

Ryan has moved up into a tie with Ninja while Michael has tied the third place slot with Sarah!! Watch out, everyone--Michael's making his move!! Could he pass Davidson for second place or even catch up to Super Simran for first?? The excitement raises to a fever pitch, everyone! Be sure to keep your eye on this blog for more heart-pounding excitement!!

Here's How Our Blog Works

If you don't know how to post comments or reviews to our blog or if you want to read what we and other boys have written, here's what you do:

1. Every post has a place underneath it that says "Comments". Click on it and it will take you to a place in which you can write something. When you're done, click on a way to identify yourself. You don't have to create a Blogger/Google account (unless you already have one); you can click on "Name/URL" or even "Anonymous." Then click "Publish Your Comment." We try to get your comments and reviews posted right away, but sometimes we get busy with other duties. So, if you don't see your comment right away, don't panic. We'll post it soon.

Don't forget--any boy can get a free book the first time he writes a review. If you live too far away to come to the Myers Park library, go ahead and write to us anyway. We'll try to find a way to get a book to you. Besides, all the other boys out there would love to hear from you.

When you tell us about a book, please give the title, author, what the book is about, and why you did or didn't like it.

2. Blogs go "front to back"; that is, the newest post comes up first and the older ones are put further back. You click on the "Blog Archive" to read older articles. The posts for this month have the titles listed. You can click on other months to catch our other posts. (Our introduction is in June of 2007; if you're new to this blog, you might look it up.)

3. Underneath each post you'll see a line that says "Labels" and several other words such as "graphic novels" or "Andrew Clements." These extra words are links to a subject; for instance, if you clicked on "graphic novels," it would pull up all the posts about graphic novels. There's also a section below on some of our best posts on the most popular subjects

4. Did you notice that the posts from last year don't show up month by month as they did before this year? If you click on the triangle next to the previous years, the months will drop down and you can go back and see what we and your fellow readers have written.

The Iron Guy's Review Policy

1. Since the Iron Guy works for the terrific Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, I review only books that the library already has or will get soon.
2. If you are an author or publisher or agent and think you have a book that boys will go crazy over, please leave me a comment (with your email address so I can contact you) under any post. I will look and see if we have the book. If not, and if the book looks good, I will contact Those Who Order Books and see if CML would be interested. (Please note--CML does not usually order self-published books) PLEASE do not just send me a book! I appreciate the offer but but first I want to see if CML has it or will get it soon.
