Four kids from wildly different backgrounds with personalities that are explosive when they clash. But they are also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track team—a team that could qualify them for the Junior Olympics if they can get their acts together. They all have a lot to lose, but they also have a lot to prove, not only to each other, but to themselves. Ghost has a crazy natural talent, but no formal training. If he can stay on track, literally and figuratively, he could be the best sprinter in the city. But Ghost has been running for the wrong reasons—it all starting with running away from his father, who, when Ghost was a very little boy, chased him and his mother through their apartment, then down the street, with a loaded gun, aiming to kill.

Since then, Ghost has been the one causing problems—and running away from them—until he meets Coach, an ex-Olympic Medalist who blew his own shot at success by using drugs, and who is determined to keep other kids from blowing their shots at life.

But in the second volume, Yang lays out the opposite side of the conflict. A girl whose village has no place for her is taken in by Christian missionaries and finds, for the first time, a home with them.

As the Boxer Rebellion gains momentum, Vibiana must decide whether to abandon her Christian friends or to commit herself fully to Christianity. It offers a penetrating insight into not only one of the most controversial episodes of modern Chinese history, but into the very core of our human nature.

If I liked any part of this book it would be the background story of the character Dutch. I disliked this book immensely for many reasons, the main being the amount of cliches and the writing style of the author. Personally, I do not mind a small amount of cliches, but the way Lindsay Eland used these seemed as though she ran out of ideas and just wanted filler.

If I could do anything to change this book it would be for the author to use a more complex and original plot. I would not recommend this book to anyone. I feel as though instead of helping advance a reader's knowledge or reading skills this book may have the opposite affect and discourage readers from this genre.

Jan 29, Laura rated it it was amazing Shelves: I chose this book from the library just because I wanted something new. Well, I found it. The first chapter had me smiling, chuckling, and looking forward to the next chapter. I kept that feeling throughout the book. I'm so very recommending this one to my students.

I hope I'm able to sell it well and do it justice. Oct 04, Hunter rated it really liked it. It was good, not great but still good. Jun 30, The Brothers rated it it was amazing Shelves: Sep 28, Jonas Hawk rated it really liked it. Funny, kinda cheezy and good prank. Sep 16, Nancy McConnell rated it really liked it. Really different from Lindsay Eland's other two books but still great! Mar 13, Kate Simpson rated it it was amazing. Loved this book and how this unlikely team formed. Great story, start to finish about a group of determined kids.

One part hilarity, one part suspense and a big helping of justice! Cleaver weaving of each character's point of view, so the reader gets to experience the whole mash up view. Laughed out loud and cheered with delight. Terrific read for anybody. Especially perfect for those upper elementary kids at that in-between stage when can seem so hard to find books they can dig into. Mar 07, The Library Lady rated it liked it Shelves: This is the sort of stuff Gordon Korman has done successfully for years, and would be a good one to hand to his fans, though the writing is a lot more uneven than Korman's stuff.

Four of the 5 protagonists have personal issues and truthfully are a lot more believable than the 5th, Adam, who between his computer skills and general bonhomie strains credulity. The bullies are a little too stereotypical, until a moment near the end that suggests the bullying kid has issues of his own, but it's kind o This is the sort of stuff Gordon Korman has done successfully for years, and would be a good one to hand to his fans, though the writing is a lot more uneven than Korman's stuff. The bullies are a little too stereotypical, until a moment near the end that suggests the bullying kid has issues of his own, but it's kind of a throwaway moment.

But the end prank is highly satisfying if again, less than believable , and it's an enjoyable read. Apr 24, Ms. Yingling rated it it was ok. Adam is a fan of the well-turned practical joke, and he has a ready target-- Hill Parmer is a stereotypical mean bully, and his father is the middle school principal. When Hill plays "hide 'n seek" with Perk's developmentally disabled brother Tommy and leaves him sobbing in a locked supply closet, the two friends vow revenge. Hacking into the school database, they locate three others who have reason to hate Hill: Ray, who looks like he has more muscles than brains; Pearl, a violin prodigy who once dated Hill; and Dutch, who has a facial tic and has been mercilessly teased about it by Hill.

Since the teachers in the school have proven ineffective in stopping Hill's reign of terror, since Mr. Parmer threatens to give them bad performance reviews which could cause them to lose their jobs, the gang thinks hard about what they could do, and decide at first that putting the principal's beloved Shelby Cobra on the roof of the school. They run into difficulties not only in coming up with a good prank, but also in their personal lives. Pearl's parents decide to get a divorce, Dutch's custodial grandfather is sinking into dementia, Ray's brothers and father don't understand how smart he is and expect him to join their auto body shop, and Perk has to care for Tommy since his parents are too busy to.

In the end, the group must content themselves with setting it up to look like Hill has auctioned the beloved car off as a fundraiser for Tommy's school unit, which is underfunded because Parmer has been rearranging the budget so that other areas get the money meant for the multiple handicap unit. As a result, Hill is sent to a military camp instead of the camp he wants to attend. I really enjoyed how responsible most of the characters were.

Even though Perk got tired of having to pick Tommy up from school, he clearly loved his brother and went out of his way to make sure that Tommy was safe and had a good day. Adam wants to get revenge, but decides that it's important that no one get hurt and no property gets damaged. Dutch tries very hard to take care of his grandfather, even though he clearly needs someone to take care of him. Ray works at his father's business without complaint, and Pearl is worried that her parents are divorcing because of something she has done.

That said, if I gave this book to a middle grade reader, I would want to make sure that I followed up with some conversations about what does and doesn't happen in real middle schools. I can't imagine that a principal as evil as Mr. Parmer would continue to be employed. Hill would not be able to get away with terrorizing his fellow students, even if his father was the principal. I also doubt that the school servers are secured so poorly that students can change grades and look up sensitive information about other students. While this sort of detail is used to be humorous, it would be alarming if it actually happened, and readers should understand that there is a difference between how schools are depicted in fiction and how they really should work.

I won't be buying this one. A principal having a car that is so expensive? At least in Barnett's book, the evil principal drives a hatchback, and is clearly over the top. Parmer is portrayed too realistically. Dec 01, Ruby rated it liked it. Five Times Revenge pages Lindsay Eland Realistic fiction I chose 5 Times Revenge by Lindsay Eland because the number five is of my favorite numbers and it attracted me as i was walking through the library.

It's extremely colorful exterior attracted me the most. The stories takes place at a middle school. The story Five Times Revenge pages Lindsay Eland Realistic fiction I chose 5 Times Revenge by Lindsay Eland because the number five is of my favorite numbers and it attracted me as i was walking through the library. The story begins on april 1st.

Then the week goes by with some things getting better and somethings getting worst at the middle school. The story s filled with an exciting vibe. The main characters are Adam and Perk. They are the pranksters of the school. Perk has an older brother named tommy who is special needs and is being bullied.

They needed help to make an epic prank so they found some friends to help them. Pearl, the violin prodigy with great memory, Ray, the one who looks like a jock but wants to be an engineer, and Dutch, who gets bullied a lot but knows everyone's feelings. Parmer the principal's son. Hill is the main bully of the story. In the beginning of the story perk and adam were planning a prank for april fools. Then one thing lead to the other and the Principal was locked in his office and the office was absent.

But the two ended up getting away just in time for the prank to be noticed. In the middle of the story HIll crosses the line by picking on some defenseless kids. Adam and perk had enough of it got in a fight with hill and ended up going to the office to see the Principal. Now the principal let hill slide but not adam and perk. So the were in trouble and got in detention just as they wanted to. The whole thing was to get into detention so they could make out a team to prank the bullies that had hurt tommy and everyone else.

So that's when they made the team. Now you will have to read the book to find out the rest and how the prank went. I will give it three stars It was a great book all in all but the plot went a little slow for my liking. And there was a lack of events in the story but others may have a different perspective. If you liked the series of middle school by James patterson i'm sure you would love this book because it was about the middle school struggles and trials.

But i enjoyed the theme of the book is to not judge a book by its cover and to not mess around because karma will come sooner or later. Sep 10, Mikyla Meyer rated it really liked it Shelves: Hill Parmar and his father Principal Parmar are both bullies, and they always seem to get away with it. When they go way too far five unlikely students band together to bring them down the best way they know how - the biggest and most epic prank the school has ever seen. The chapters alternate between the point of view of the five friends, each of whom is dealing with issues in their own personal life as well as what's going on at school.

While the changing view points can be a little jarring the Hill Parmar and his father Principal Parmar are both bullies, and they always seem to get away with it. While the changing view points can be a little jarring the story is well developed and enjoyable. This book contains well thought out examples of bullying.

It doesn't just show Hill beating up his fellow students and stealing their homework although there is definitely that , it also shows his father threatening to alter teacher's performance reviews and changing students grades when they cross him or his son. Children will see that adults can be bullies and bullied too.

It is empowering rather than vengeful when the protagonists plan and execute their prank, doing for themselves what no other character big or small could do. The story also confronts stereotypes through the internal lives of the main characters, encouraging children to follow their dreams and look out for others.
