The Fourth Stall

   The fourth Stall is a book that was written by Chris Rylander. the book was first published in 2011. this book is a realistic fiction book about a boy named Mac who help kids with their problems any were from test answer to helping with bully's. Mac and his friend Vince are has been running a business to try to get money to go to a Chicago Cubs World Series Baseball game until a one day when a third grade boy named Fred need to get protection from one of the most dangerous bull Staples. I think that this book is good if you would like to read a funny book.                                                                                                                                        The story is told by events and Mac and Vince solving it, and the point of view of the author is first person. The plot is that their is a bully named Staples he has stared a organization where kids can place bets on school sport to try to win money. However Staples has been sabotaging these games to make kids lose their money to him and then they will have to pay back but the amount of money is to high so the kids can't pay it of so he sends people to bully them also kids who works for his business can't leave. But there was one kid who try to leave and he is trying to get him so the kid goes to Mac for help. I think the intended audience is kids from 8-12 because they will get what is going on. The genre of this book is realistic fiction and i think i fits the book well because it is a fake story but it seems real. The author keeps me interested by telling us how Mac and Vince solve their problem. The author style is funny but it has some big words so i think it dose effective for the author intended audience.                                                                                                                                        This book affected me because i don't like a lot of books but this is so good that it is one of my favorite book. I didn't change any ideas i had of it. it does not fit in with what i think. This book didn't bring up any memories of other books or authors i have read.                                                                                            I like this book because it is in the fourth stall and i like that the book it funny. I also like how this story can happen in real life. There is not anything i hate about this book that i can think of. As i have said before I recommend this book for kids age 8-12 and anyone who like to read a funny book.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Minhkhoi  Hoang Thursday, November 7, 2013 Rating: 4/5
