Firecracker Bonanza, Avril 30 2003

The title of my book is The Case of the Firecrackers by Laurence Yep.
Lily, her great-aunt Tiger Lil, her brother Chris, Chrisï¿s girlfriend Evie, and ï¿Grandpa Engï¿ are enjoying a nice dinner when, suddenly, the phone rings. Lily, Evie, Chris, and Tiger Lil are on their way to meet handsome teen heartthrob, Clark Tom!
While visiting Clark, he asks the group if they wouldnï¿t mind playing a small role in his next Chinatown movie. Of course, they all oblige and are quickly dressed and whisked away to the set. Norm, the director of the movie, had hired a gang member to play the murderer of Clark Tom. While the scene was rolling, the gang member got ready to shoot blanks. Bang! Instead of shooting blanks, he shot real bullets! Tempers began to flare, fuses ignited as the gang member is arrested and hauled away for the attempted murder of Clark Tom. But Tiger Lil doesnï¿t think heï¿s the one who exchanged the blanks for the real bullets. Auntie Tiger Lil and her crew follow a trail of firecrackers, gangs, bad food, and gambling to dead ends. How will they ever find the real culprit?
Overall, I give this book a 3 out of 5. The book uses great words and a climax that never seems to end. There is a similar book called Maude, but that story was about a witch trying to put a spell on a little girl. It related to The Case of the Firecrackers because they both used firecrackers, spells, and mysterious people in the plot to add suspense. Once you start to read this book, I guarantee you wonï¿t be able to put it down! Happy reading!

EXCITING!!!, Mars 4 2002
Par Un client
This novel takes place in Chinatown. It could have happened now, but I don't know when it really did take place. There is this really big TV Star in Chinatown shooting a scene for his show, "East Meets West." In this scene, Clark will act like a mobster is shooting him. The mobster is actually just shooting blanks though. But, somehow they got switched with real bullets. Now everyone around is in danger because the mobster can't tell that he is shooting real bullets. Then, when he does figure it out, no one is hurt but the police are investigating and he might get taken off to jail for something he really didn't mean to do.
I thought this book was really exciting and good. It has just the right amount of excitement to make you read on. I had a hard time to put it down in some parts. It was a well-written book. I think it was well written because it was about other cultures and how they can do the same things that we do even if they are 10,000 miles away, and they speak a different language or something like that. This book was kind of like the Hardy Boys because it is so exciting and well written.
