I would rate Me, Mop, And The Moondance Kid with 3 out of 5 stars. I liked this book because it had a good theme. It was also interesting, creative, exciting, and always kept me on the edge of my seat. I never wanted to put the book down. There are many other books similar to this book. You need to get this book and read it as soon as you can. If you enjoy reading books that have some mystery in them and are exciting this would be perfect for you. This book is about three kids named Mop, T.J., and The Moondance Kid. They all grew up together as orphans, but just recently T.J. and Moondance were adopted by the Jacksons. The academy that Mop is still at is closing down so if she doesn't get adopted before the Dominican Academy closes down she will have to move. In order to spend more time with Marla, who she wants to be adopted by, she joins the Elks. The Elks is a little league baseball team that T.J., Moondance, and some other kids play on, and guess who the coach is. Marla! Besides that problem they have to worry about beating the Eagles in the play-offs. Will Mop get adopted? Will the Elks beat the Eagles in the play-offs? To find out go and check out Me, Mop, and The Moondance Kid.

If you like sports stories, then Me Mop and the Moondance Kid is the book for you. We did not think that the book was interesting because it repeated itself over and over. It was not what we expected it to be. We would not recommend this book to our classmates. This book was mainly about a group of kids playing baseball and trying to win a tournament. Will they win or lose? You will have to read it to find out. We give the book three stars.
Book review by: Alex H. and Jaime M.

T.J. and his older brother new each other there hole life and they grow up in Dominican Academy it is a home for the orphans Moondance was adapted when he was 10 years old and Moondance cam play baseball and so he try's out for a team and he is so good that he makes the team.

I like the book because it is about orphans and how they can be good at something in life and people just think that they are no good and they can not do anything in life and this book tells you that orphans are good at some things.

I give this book four stars because some of the parts in the book were confusing. I also think the author had bad grammar. But it still was a good book. I think T.J. was the worst player because he made a lot of errors. Mop was good because she hit a lot of singles. Moondance was a good pitcher because he throws strikes now. In the end I am glad they won. That's why I give this book four stars.

Part Two

The Homerun Adoption

The Beginning was about how Mop, Moondance and TJ got their names. It was also about how they helped Mop get adopted. They tried so many ways, and then they came up with putting Mop on the Elks baseball team so she can impress the coach so she can be adopted. In the middle of the Novel TJ gets in a fight with Rocky the cat, Rocky punches TJ in the face and nose.
Then Miss Sally finally decides to grab a box and trap Rocky in the box so that she doesn't fight with rocky again. After that was taken care of TJ and his team get ready for the game against the Pumas'.
In the end Saturday came and it was time for the game against the Pumas'. It was the last ending when TJ fires a curve ball. Strike 1, 2, 3, you're out said the referee. In the end the victory went to the Elks, and Mop got adopted by the coach.
I think this novel was magnificent book to read and l liked it. The reason I like it was Because It was adventures and it had lot of excitement and I am a person who likes to be active and very athletic.

This book is about three kids that are orphans on a baseball team called the Elks. The kids are TJ, Mop, and the Moondance Kid. TJ and Moondance got adopted by the Jacksons. But Mop still did not get adopted. So Mop thinks that Marla, the wife of the coach, Jim Kennedy, wants to adopt her. Marla becomes the coach of the Elks and Mop needs to be a good baseball player to get adopted. TJ gets in a fight with Rocky because he beats up his brother Moondance. TJ got beat up by Rocky real bad. The Elks team is in the playoffs and TJ is a bad player for baseball. TJ gets hit in the back with the baseball and he got to walk. They won the playoffs and Mop got adopted by Marla.

This book...umm...I would say this book was OK. This was like OK because like I really hated the writing. I could not really read the writing. But the baseball team was cool, they are champions. And the happy part was that Mop, Moondance, and T.J. all got adopted. The sad part was that Moondance and T.J. got beat up by Rocky! I really like Taffy. He's cool. Well, there is my opinion.

Me, Mop, and the Moondance Kid is a 1 out of 5 stars. My first reason is that there is already a story of 3 orphans, and the customer from Amazon.com couldn't even understand. He might have read it, but he DID NOT understand it. I mean, he called the umpire a referee and he says he's very athletic, but he's not. If he was he would have said umpire, not referee.
