This book did not hold my
interest at all. I stopped reading it
half-way through.

Among all the R.I. Children
book awards books I read, I choose Busted by Betty Hicks as one of my
favorites. This realistic fiction book is about Stuart Ellis always getting
busted by his mom. He gets busted for the littlest things, like riding with the
neighbor’s son who is 18 and has had his license for 2 years. The main
characters are Stuart, Mack (Stuarts best friend), and Stuart’s mom. The
characters really help the story move smoothly. The picture on the cover really
explains the story because of the great illustrations. I really enjoyed this
book and I recommend this book to 6 graders who like funny books about kids our
age.

In the book “Busted”
by Betty Hicks, Stewart is the main character and he is going to lose his
soccer for good! But because of his friend Mack all of this is going to change.
This is a book for someone who likes realistic fiction and anyone who likes
soccer. In rating it, I would give “Busted” 5 stars .The book’s
illustrations are not important to the story because you can understand the
book fine.” Busted” is a really good book.
