I think this book had a happy ending, Finley and Russ becomes friends and they shared what they both liked to each other. They left the school and went to see the stars. Erin send Finley a letter but where did she go? Overall I think it's a strong ending and I really liked it.

Russ went to Finley's house and let him watch stars, he is trying to take care of him( cheer him up) by letting watch the stars. I think that Finley lost everything, Russ and Finley are taking care of each others in the saddest moments.

I changed my mind and I think mr. Gore is really a good guy, he asked about Finley's family just to help him. Also I wonder why did Erin respond coldly after Finley send her a letter, is it that she don't want Finley to focus so much on her so he will still play basketball well?

I think Finley's personality really changed after the accident, he is not interested to basket ball anymore, he skipped the basketball practice to see Erin, I think she is very important to Finley and I feel really sorry for Finley.

I am suprised that Erin got hit by a car and she can never play basketball any more, I wonder why did the author wrote this? I wonder what's going on in that accident? maybe someone wants to kill all the people around Finley to get something special.

I am pretty impressed that Erin is a good basketball player, she helped her team to score a lots of goals and had got her number, "18" . Also, after Russ replaced Finley in the game, he asked that if he can use his extraterrestrial powers. I think he is hiding his power from the very beginning. and when he uses that power, he pulled up for a half-court shot with no one on him!

I wonder why did Russ playing very unselfishly and doesn’t make any mistakes in the game against the other schools even Finley can tell that he isn’t really playing? Why did the author mention this? I wonder what if Russ really play for real?

In these two chapter, I think that Russ is helping Finley out, he played bad in his sports team and leaved the spot to Finley, maybe he is thankful for what Finley did to him. Also, Finley and Russ made a great friend called Wes, he is really obsessed to the internet and he suggest to create a book club with Finley and Russ, I am glad to see Finley and Boy 21 made a new friend.

Russ's parents got murder but he still said he is from outer space and that his parents are going to come and pick him up in a spaceship, I wonder why?

After reading the two chapter I wonder why did Russ always follows Finley, what does this have to do with his parent's murder? Erin thinks that Russ liked Finley and enjoys being around him because he is a good person, but Finley thinks that because coach told Russ to follow Finley. I want to keep reading to figure it out.

I wonder what's going on with Boy 21, he is acting so quite and sometime start to respect Finley and Erin. He have not talk about space since he met Finley, but after he celebrated his birthday, he said he want to travel with Finley, I wonder what happened between the first day he met Finley until now, why did he change his character and why did quick wrote this?

I feels like that Russell doesn't prefer to talk in front of the student, does this kid really like humans or is he still feeling sad about his parents. He was screaming in the theater when he saw the space shuttle appears on the screen. He don’t want to see this. I wonder what does this has to do with the space and stars that he is always thinking? he is really like Finley, they both had a childhood in dream.

I think this is the very first time that Finley meets the Boy 21, he thinks that he is from space and he always call people Earthlings, he said that he was sent to Earth to gather scientific data on what Earthlings call emotions. I think that Russell had lost himself and thinking that he is Boy 21, is it because that he had too many pressures? He had a strong body but does he really likes basketball?

After reading these chapters, I got a better understanding about who Russell is, he was born in a rich family before, but his parents got murdered, he has the same felling just like Finley. I think that their life is almost the same, they are really connected to each others, and I think that is the reason why Coach Wilkins decision to select Finley to help Russ, I hope they will understand each other later on.

At the beginning of this book, I know that Finley was born in the poor side of the town, there is a lot of crime happening. I know that Finley is always training his basketball skill with his girl friend and he was being bullied but his friend helped him out. I think this is a pretty special life and I wonder what will happen next.

Tom had a unforgettable childhood, when you grown, you can see how interesting are the stupid things you had done and how you grown. who did not make mistake when they are young? I admire Tom to have such interesting experiences and how tom grown.

This is the first time Tom and Huck had seen this much money, but I think the real treasure that Tom has isn't these money, tom is growing from a little naughty boy to a one who is witness the justice, he is the one who encourage the others, "the Pirates Life" "the cave adventure" "and the Becky's engagement" They are all turning point in the life of Tom. I think this is the treasure of life for Tom.

They are in the cave without food or drink to be more than a week, Tom still have courage to go on in to the cave after he met Injun Joe. I know he never got discouraged.

The adventure of Tom and Becky in the cave really is marvelous and tense. Tom always told Becky to Innervate when she is crying in the cave, because he knows that if you sit here and you can only dead at the end, but if you continues to explore, there may be a new way.

Huck saw that Injun Joe is trying to kill a women (what is wrong with Injun Joe) named Widow Douglas. Joe wants to make her disfigurement and suffer the rest of her life. Huck got really scared (nice nice description used) and he ran quickly to Welshman's house and told them about the case. Welshman got scared and he let Huck gets two of his strong sons to see what's happing, is there going to be a big fight next?

......Injun fall down below with a piece of wood and left with his team mates. Huck got scared almost fainted after seeing Joe left, They are being aware of Joe's next move,Tom thinks that Joe will start his revenge after inquire about the actual situation in the town.

In chapter 26 and 27 of the book,(Friday) Tom and Huck saw Injun Joe in front of the dead tree. Injun Joe and the other Spanish guys are planing to do something. I can't believe that Injun Joe almost found out about Tom and Huck because there are new dirt on shovel, Tom and Huck ran in to the old house and hide in the closet, because the house is too old......

In chapter 25 of the book, I can see that Tom and Huck really wants to have a lot of money from digging, Huck want to dig out a chest with a lot of diamond in it. Tom and Huck want money to do different things, Huck want to spend his money really quickly, like eating pies, soft drinks and watching the circus to play. Tom wants to save his money and to get marry, the girl that he wants to marry with is Becky.

In the last two chapter of the book, the murder is at a public hearing, is something people talk in the town and it immediately became a hot topic. Tom feels guilty about not telling the truth. But at last Tom told Judge the truth and said that Injun Joe is the killer, Tom feels happy in the day time but the fear still puzzled him for a long time. I wonder what will Injun Joe do next to solve this problem.

Tom is trying to use his own fate to save Becky from trouble, She is grateful for what Tom did to her, and she finally feels admiration to Tom. At end of chapter 20, I can tell that Becky told Tom that he thought in a noble way. Is funny that at the end of chapter 21, the student is trying to take revenge to the teacher and the teacher is bald after the cat scratch off his wig. and the holiday is coming.

In chapter 17,18,19, The kids was talking about the Tom's life for being a hero in the town. He think he gets more love from the others than the previous year. After Aunt Polly found out that tom is not dead, Tom's excuses is that he has a pirating bark in his pocket, then he told Aunt Polly that he kissed her before he left the house and she didn't wake up at that time. Tom's excuse is very smart and fun to me.

In chapter 16, Tom is really having fun with the pirates, they are finding the turtle eggs. I surprised that they ran and take off all their clothes. They ate a lot of wild foot and the trying to survived in the wild. And at last they were glad they had gone into savagery.

>>really scared happy to see him back and gives him a lot of great food for breakfast.
