I Know What You Did Last Summer

Title: I Know What You Did Last Summer
Author: Lois Duncan
Reviewer: Hannah
I Know What You Did Last Summer is about four friends, Julie, Ray, Helen, and Barry, which get a letter in the mail saying, “I know what you did last summer”. Julie had been trying to for get everything about that summer, like her friends Helen and Barry, her boyfriend ray…. and the accident. One night, Julie, ray, Helen, and Barry were driving in conditions that they shouldn’t have been driving in and they hit a little boy on a bicycle. They went into a diner to call the ambulance, but then they all voted to just go home and act like it never happened. When the little boy’s death appeared in the paper, they made a pack to never tell anyone about that night. The four people hadn’t talked to each other since that summer and had managed to forget almost all of it. After they all got the letter, many more things were done to scare them. Someone must have seen the accident! Is the person going to turn them into the police, or do they just want revenge?

Last Shot

Title: Last Shot
Author: John Feinstein
Reviewer: Kevin
Last Shot is a compelling and just a book that makes you want to keep reading. Honorary author John Feinstein draws you into yet another great book.
Young aspiring sports journalist Stevie Thomas receives a letter from the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) that he, along with another contestant, has won the contest in which they have entered. The prize that they receive is media passes to the Final Four in New Orleans, Louisiana. He knew that Duke, Minnesota State University (MSU), Connecticut, and St. Joe's were in the Final Four and was excited to go. When they finally met in the hotel lobby in Louisiana, they seemed to be almost completely opposite. She liked Duke, he liked St. Joe's, she was tall, and he wasn't. But when they are roaming the hotel grounds they over hear people talking, they listen in. When they hear the star player of MSU, Chip Graber, being blackmailed, they know they have to get over their differences and work as a team.
When they discreetly surpass the security in the players' hotel acting as Chip's cousins, they get to have a two on one talk with Chip Graber the winner of the Naismith, the award that goes to the best college basketball player in one season. After they talk to him and he accepts their plea for help, they couldn't help being proud of themselves for outsmarting security guards and having the reward of talking to the best college basketball player in the country. When they get closer and closer to finding out who is behind all of it, the mystery takes an unexpected turn. Want to find out what it is? You have to read the book!
