  3. There was a boy who got picked to do a stunt. My favorite character was a guy named Eagle Eye because he hit something. I liked this book because if there is a strong word they would draw a picture and that would tell you what it meant. If you like action then you should read this book.

  4. This book is about a boy that gets a job as a stuntboy in a movie. My favorite thing about the book was when Derek’s friend Matt posted a video of him reading on YouTube. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes movies and skateboarding.

  5. It is a chapter book. Derek Fallen gets an opportunity of a lifetime to act as a stuntboy in a hit movie. My favorite part in the book is that there is a big twist in the story and it is a huge surprize. This is a excellent book.

  6. I love how you think Derek's best friend Mat is no longer his enemy, but he is really still is. He posts a video of him reading to embarrass him on youtube. This book is amazing because when you think all is resolved and done, another worse problem occurs! Even though this book was for younger children i still enjoyed it!
