Snowboard Showdown By: ???
9/28/06
This story is about two brothers, Freddie and Dondi. Freddie is jealous of Dondi because Clarissa likes Dondi not Freddie. So Freddie challenges Dondi to a snowboard competition and Dondi declines. Then after Freddie wins the competition he notices Clarissa is with Dondi at the mall. A week after that Dondi challenges Freddie to who can make it down Devil's Ravine. Then it's Freddie up first. He faked a hurt ankle when he went through the trees. In the end the brothers like each other again, and Freddie gets the girl.
The story was exciting because of the competition between the brothers. Freddie and Dondi would compete in skiing, snowboarding and trying to get the girl. I can relate to the snowboard competition because I know how to snowboard. The suspense somehow made me want to keep reading. The only downside was that some of the story took place at school and I thought that was boring. I wanted Freddie to win, and in the end he got the girl.
The author, Paul Mantell uses the third person to tell this story. He used snowboarding terms when talking about the competitions. He also used slang words that teenagers might use. He gave nicknames to some characters that were realistic and cool. I was able to feel the tension between the brothers while reading this book. I have read several Matt Christopher books and enjoy the story lines and surprises through out the books. He writes the way an 11 to 18 year old thinks and shows the bond between kids and sports.
I would rate this book at nine out of ten because it has characters and a setting I can relate to. It kept my interest throughout the whole book. In the end the conflict between the brothers was resolved. I would recommend this book if you like snowboarding or want to learn to snowboard.
This book is an awesome book. I like Matt Christopher books because all the characters think outside the box. Some times throughout this book I was thinking how much I would like to do the tricks he could do. I can't wait until it snows.

3: This Book Rocks
I love this book because I love snowboarding. In this book, two brothers have a contest to see who is better at snowboarding. Freddie and Donovan tease each other a lot. Donovan won't admit that Freddie is a better athlete. Freddie and his friends all think that he is better than Donovan. I also liked this book because the brothers play pig and I love to play pig. This book is exciting because you don't really know what happens next, things sort of pop out at you when you don't really expect it. You should read this book because it has action and is fun.
