Summary: Crash! review
Review: A Quaker is someone who doesn't believe in violence. Penn Webb, the dorky, geeky, neighbor

Of John (Crash) Coogan is a Quaker. Crash, the main character and narrator goes through many changes

Throughout the story of this book that spans seven years. Penn moves to Pennsylvania where Crash lives

In first grade and when Crash first saw him with his buttons that said "Flickertail" or "Peace," he

Immediately knew they wouldn't be friends. When they enter sixth grade, Crash's would be best friend

Mike Deluca moves to the neighborhood and have fun pulling pranks on Webb because he is considered

A "nerd."

Fastforward to seventh grade and you'll see Crash and Mike are star football players of their

School. This fiction book is high in standards in its genre. I recommend this book to every and anyone

Who likes reading books. It was very good in my opinion because books like this usually take me about

Two to three days. It took me only one day to finish this page-turner! It was also easy to concentrate

On reading this book because it's easy to understand and you won't find any large words that you would

Need to scramble for a dictionary.

I would like to write a brief summary of the plot so here it is for this great book. After the events

Of the three children moving into the neighborhood and going to seventh grade, Mike and John (Crash) are

The popular jocks of the school. But, when a new girl comes to school, Crash finds himself in love. The

New girl, Jane Forbes, doesn't like Crash because he acts like a jerk at a school dance but she likes Webb

Which really gets him mad. As he goes for football tryouts, Webb goes for cheerleading and he's

Accepted! During the course of the year and when Mike takes a prank too far (which I will not give away)

Crash starts to realize if he wants to be who he is or if he wants to be who he should be. This book is a

Really good story and if you know how to read, you should read it!

Summary: Crash reviewed by Julissa Garcia
Review: Crash is a sports book about a boy named John Coogan, with his nickname being Crash. Who grew up with his dorky neighbor called Penn Webb. Throughout Crashes teen years Mike Deluca is his best friend, who is only teases Penn Webb. John Crash is a running back, in his middle school, where he later breaks a record. In his family he has a mother, father, and sister, who is named Abby. His Grandfather scooter was in the U.S. Navy, he suffers from a stroke in the book. He realizes that Penn Webb is friends with his crush. But when Mike takes a prank to far, Crash turns best friends with Penn Webb and close friends with his crush. This book was very interesting because it also involved football within its pages. The book shows that true friends are not found everyday, and you never know when you'll find your best friend(s). This book was very enjoyable and I recommend it to anyone who like to read stories that are similar to the reality of life.

Summary: A Nutty Kid Crash
Review: Crash is a powerful look at a relationship between a teenager and grandparent. In the book Crash's grandfather has a stroke. This saddens crash. The makes him rethink his relationship with his nerdy neighbor also his relationship with his best friend.
The book Cash is a fast and easy read. The plot is about the life of two thirteen year old boys. It's really funny because you see life through young teenagers. You see the tricks they do to each other, the fights and the crushes. Jerry Spenelli the author knows how to keep you hanging on. He explores friendship, fitting in and family love.
I like this book because it was interesting to read about kids my age. It was funny because of the language the author used. It caught my attention with the action in it. I recommended this book.
I think people who like relationship stories and sports stories should read this book. The author makes the book easy to read because something sad or funny is always happening. You shouldn't read this book this book if you like a lot of detail when the author explains something.
When Crashes grandfather has a stroke Crash was felling really down. His grandfather had to stay in the hospital during Christmas crash thought Christmas without grandfather was like pizza without pepperoni. It was during these hard times that crash realized who his true friends were. It was his nerdy friend who came with gifts and comforted him.

Summary: A Great Read for Parents, Too!
Review: As a parent of three, a writer and editor, I picked up the book for a quick read and found it absolutely adorable! Any parent can relate to at least one of the children in the story ... I was hysterical thinking of the words and phrases that my 13-year-old uses and how well the book described her.

If your youngster is looking for a book, or you want to help with a book report ...do yourself a favor and read it ...

Summary: Crash
Review: Crash is a very good book. you have your humor sadness and drama rolled up into one book.The author picked good characters like crash. Crash is the main character.
another thing I like is that crash picks on Penn Webb like every day but Pen doesn't know it's him. That's the funny part. The sad part is whrn scooter his grandfather goes to the hospital and nearly dies. And the drama is the whole book. Once you start reading it you can't put it down.
