Book

This was purchased for a children's program at our local library. Can't comment on the book itself, as I haven't read it. But shipping was fast and book was in the condition promised.

Go big or go home by Nigel

Go Big or Go Home by Will Hobbs This book is about a boy named Alexander. He and his cousin Quinn like to take stuff to the extreme. One day, Alexander was watching this shower of stars - what looked like a shooting star was really a meteor. The meteor came right down and crashed on his bed. He told his cousin Quinn about it, but Alexander didn't know that he would have weird stuff happening to him from then on. The book was shocking to me because I never knew what gave him those special little things. For example, he is able to jump higher and he is stronger than normal. I recommend this book. *****

Great book for teenagers

Go Big Or Go Home In the Black Hills of South Dakota one dark summer night, a meteor shower started. Little balls of fire crashed down to earth with super sonic speed. Brady heard a big boom coming from the house and he ran back to find a hole in his roof. He finds a meteorite on the floor of his bedroom. While days go by, strange and weird thing start happening to Brady. He gets amazing amounts of energy, strength and courage to do extreme things like going real fast on a dirt bike or doing a slam-dunk in basketball. I love this book because it is grabbing and funny. It contains adventure and extreme sports. I recommend this book to any one that likes an adventure or a little bit of mystery. It was hard to put this book down because every page is like a new chapter in Brady's life. I didn't want to put this book down; it was that great. Teddy R
