The book I read was Snowboard Maverick by Matt Christopher. It's about a kid named Dennis who loves to skateboard. The only problem is that he lives in Moorsville which is a ski resort so he can only skateboard in the summer. Last winter all his friends were having fun, snowboarding and he was stuck inside because he didn't have one. But this year his mom, dad and two friends bought him one. Now he's doing awesome for a beginner! One day a school bully challenges him to race down the intermediate slope and Dennis is just a beginner! Will Dennis chicken out, lose or even worse, get badly hurt? To find out read this book. I would recommend this book to friends.

This book was a great inspiration to me. I am a big fan of Matt Christopher and Snowboard Maverick had to be the best one yet. It is about a boy named Dennis O'malley. He was the best skateboarder in town until winter came. He was all alone in winter. Then he saw a snowboard and wanted to try it. When Christmas came he got a snowboard for Christmas. He practiced and practiced and got better and better. There are a few morals to the story. When you practice enough you will be great at something. Conquer your fear of hights and fears of breaking any bones.This book was a great book and a good learning experiense.

This is one of the first books that I read for pure enjoyment. It's about a boy named Dennis O'Mally, 13, in the 6th grade who gets a snowboard for Christmas. When his parents say that they have already done their Christmas shopping, but one of his best friends had gotten him a snowboard. Read this book, it is awesome! (written by Alex, age 9)

A Review by Jeff

The Snowboard Maverick is about a 13-year-old boy named Dennis O'Malley who loved to skateboard, "it was his life". When winter came the streets had got covered with snow and he could not skateboard. Whenever the streets were clear he went and skateboarded. His two best friends, Robbie and Tasha, had got into the new coolest sport, it was snowboarding. He wanted to get one know. He had gotten one for a Christmas gift and he loved it, it was the new greatest sport. He had got really good at it and by the end of the book he was really good. There was only one other person who was as, good or even better, it was Dale Morgan. Everyone knew him as the "best snowboarder", no one had ever been challenged by him in a competition before. They had the competition and in the end someone had one.

I would give this book 3 stars, it was mostly the way I had expected it to be. It had a better ending then I had thought cause it was not expected.

I am Ross Steven W. and I like snowboarding and soccer books. Even though I am only 7, I could read the whole book. I liked the part on Snowboard Maverick when Dennis learned to snowboard. I liked Renny in Soccer Duel.

This is the best book I ever read that is about sports.Its just so good that I dont have anything else to say about it.

Can a skateboard pro conquer the slopes? Dennis O'Malley is tested when it starts to snow, and he has to shelf his skateboard. Dennis is a hard core skater who learns to snowboard. He learns at a school with the help of his friends.

Dennis wants to board, but his parents don't want him to, so he boards on his own time. But when he goes the mountain is divided into two. His experience is tested when he must race on Ford's Mountain, to share the mountain.

Personally, my favorite part is when Dennis catches big air, and has to ride down the mountain to get help, to save his friends, which are stuck, because one decide to try and drop in, but she had no real experience with the sport. This is my favorite part because it shows how strong Dennis's friendship really is. This book is really about a teenage boy who falls in love with a new action sport. The theme of this book is just really about following what you love.

What I personally liked about this book was that it dealed with snowboarding which I love. If I could change one thing though, I would make the plot not so near the end. Anyone who enjoys action/sports books should read this.

Once there was a boy named Dennis who could skateboard very well, but in a few days it would be winter season and he could not skateboard because in his place it would start to snow and he can't skateboard in snow.
So his two best friends Robbie and Tasha said that they would teach him how to snowboard and Dennis said yes. But he had a fear of it also because once he had fallen and gotten hurt. He started by learning how to fall. After that he started by going down the school house hill.
Now whenever he used to start, there used to be a small fright coming up his back and you know why. Then he raced one of his friends down, he did not know but his friend gave him a head start. He was thinking where she was and then she zoomed down and won.
Then suddenly the two school bullies came and challenged Dennis and now they will race at Floyds Mountains and that is the place Dennis fell and Brock his bone now read the book and see what happens to Dennis at the race. I recommend this book to people who like snowboarding or who like snow. I rated this book 4star because this was a very good book to me.

The book I'm reviewing is Snowboard Maverick by Matt Christopher. I think this book deserves four out of five stars. It is a interesting book. This book is about a boy who is great at skateboarding, but his friends want him to try snowboarding. He likes it but he gets into trouble. The problem of the story is he gets dared to go down Fords Mountain. I recommend this book to anybody who likes snowboarding.

The book Snowboard Maverick was a very great book.It tell you about a person who loves skateboarding and whenever it snowed he couldn't skateboard cause it was too icy.So all of his friends are snowboarding adn he wants to learn how.Whenever he learns to be pretty good he is challenged buy a big bully who is a very good snowboarder.He is very scared of the bully but his parents encourage him and he takes the challenge.Whenever he showes up they go down the hill and it is the first one down the hill who wins and he beats the bully and quits skateboarding and becomes a snowboarder.Every winter when it snowes him and his friends go snowboarding.This book is one of the best books i have ever read.
