Summary: Ashtonishing
Comment: The Pinballs is a book about three children who are sent to a foster home. The three children are Carlie, Harvey, and Thomas J. Carlie is a fourteen-year-old girl who is at the foster home because her stepfathers abused her. Harvey is a thirteen-year-old boy who is at a foster home because his father had drinking problem and he couldn't take care of Harvey. Thomas J. is an eight year old boy who is at the foster home because when he was two his natal parents left him at the door step of the eighty-two year old Benson twins and they broke their hips walking down a path to their house and they couldn't care for him. So those three children were sent the Mason Foster Home. At first Carlie doesn't like anybody in the house, Harvey really doesn't communicate and Thomas J. talks too loud. What will happen to Carlie? What will happen to Harvey? What will happen to Thomas J.? Find out in The Pinballs by Betsy Byars.
I think the Pinballs was very good because most of the characters were dynamic. Betsy Byars painted a vivid picture of the characters. There is a very big lesson that taught in this book and you will have to read this book to find out. I would suggest this to any person above the age of ten.

Summary: Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down
Comment: In the book we give the character, Carlie two thumbs up. The story is about three children living in a foster home with Mr. and Ms. Mason. Carlie cares about other people, and helps around the house. We like Carlie because she tried to help Harvey by saying, " You know, I can be a big help when there's a fight." Other kids should read about this character, because they could learn that they should care about people even though they dislike them.
