= SLIDING INTO HOME  = = Author: Dori Hillestad Butler   = Everyone knows that boys play baseball, and girls play softball. But that’s not the case for 13 year old Joella Cunningham who’s always played with the boys. The reasons that I want this book nominated are, first there is an important lesson, sliding into home is well written and how I feel about the book (I feel like it is a like a true story). I think you should nominate this book for the ICCA awards. When you read this book you learn an important lesson. One lesson is to not give up, you might have to work hard to get there but we still need to try. Also different beliefs of what should be done and should not be done, sometimes alike isn’t better. But luckily Joella has some friend along the way. The absolute book that I want nominated is so well written because there are fantastic, powerful strong words and sentences. Here is one example of a strong sentence, "She jammed her key into the lock and banged the door open and lunged for the receiver." This book makes me feel like I am. . . there. Right there in the story, like I am one of the characters, this book can also make me visualize, it can give you a really phenomenal picture and movie in your head, because you can feel how the characters feel. For instance, at this part: “"I’m sorry Joanne-err, the principal said. ” But in this district boy play baseball and girls play softball. That’s just the way it is. When the author said this I felt like it was a very important part. The book has great detail too, so you can relate and have connections. You will have to read this book to find out what will happen to Joella. This book doesn’t have an award, but it needs one, because it doesn’t have and award you guys out there whoever decides ICCA awards book list should give it an award because it is such an outstanding book. If you think you’ve read the best books in the entire world, if you haven’t read sliding into home you should, otherwise you missed a great book and haven’t read the whole entire best books in the world. It is just waiting for someone to pick this incredible book. =  BY ALEXIS R CHRISTIANSEN   =
