Gymnastics How to Play the All-Star-Way by Dwight Normile
This is a book on how to do gymnastic moves and champions who did them.There is certain practice clothing that you would need to wear. If it is cold, you should wear a sweat suit. If it is warm out, you should wear shorts and a t-shirt , or girls can wear a leotard. Never wear jewelry, and keep your hair tied back if it is long. After you make sure you are wearing the proper clothing, start stretching. You must stretch to avoid injuries. There are many stretches like the tuck, the pike, the bridge, and the front splits. Now you can start. The activity that sounds the best to me is the bars. To find out more read, Gymnastics How to Play the All-Star Way .
What makes this a good book is it explains how to do the moves step by step and then shows a picture of how to do the move. I also think this is a good book because it has live champions to show you that you can go very far in gymnastics, like Tina Gutsu, Dominque Dawes, and John Roethlisberger-all olympic champions.

Snorkeling is very fun. I love to see all the colorful fish under the water and not just above. The basic equipment you need is a mask, the snorkel, and flippers. Snorkeling is a great, fun, and healthy sport.

Throwing Smoke by Bruce Brooks
This is an excellent book on sports. This book is about a baseball team and it's weakness to winning. Then new players enter the team. The Newts continue to lose and then they win. But then the leader of the group decides something very important, and the game will neverbe the same.
This book is excellent because the author always has a problem going in the story. Also, the authors writing tells you that he knows how to play baseball!
