Daredevil Club- By Pam Withers ***
Kip Fox started a group called the Daredevil Club. He made a list of seven stunts that were all-out dangerous. His group members- Fraser, Vlad, and Caleb, all complete the stunts together. Until stunt #4. That one was a bit different. See, it didn't turn out like all the rest. Kip had a bad turnout from stunt #4, which shattered his leg to pieces. But he didn't want to give up without finishing the last three stunts on his list. He got a cane and started going to physiotherapy, so he could start rebuilding his muscles back up in his non-working leg. But when stunt #7 comes around, he feels as if his friends are onto something without him. They show up to do the stunt with somebody else. Is the Daredevil Club planning on kicking out their humble, brave leader for somebody else?
I gave Daredevil Club 3 stars. At some parts of the story, I was kept on my toes, wondering what was going to happen next. But a psychic, non-working leg? A little strange if you ask me. The ending was somewhat realistic, but for the most part, Daredevil Club was just another one of those books that was meant to stay on the shelves and not one I'll read again. The ending just seemed too perfect to be true for me. If you're looking for one of those books with a great plot, vivid details, and a great ending, it's sure not this one that's right for you. Although, it's a great quick-read. The book has death-defying stunts that should not be attempted at home, but I recommend it for readers 10+.

Thanks, Christy, that was a really good review.
So would you recommend others to read and review this book? I heard you say it was a shorter read than most.
I would recommend those who have free time to, but not if they're looking for a great book.
Thanks, i might read it.
for putting YouTube videos on your blog:
when you go to a video, for example http://youtube.com/watch?v=FcuS7Ce4q9I, in the sidebar on the right it says "Embed" and it has a code. Copy and paste that code into the "Edit HTML" blog post. That should work...let me know if it doesn't and I'll try to explain better.
Okay, thanks so much Erin! You're always a great help!
How is 'the tears of a tiger'? I have never heard of it, but it sounds interesting...
Tears of A Tiger was really good! But the author made it sound kind of cheesey in the dialogue. I don't have as much time to do reviews as I used to in the summer. But I'll try to do a review on it.
