Me, Mop, and the MoonDance Kid By: Walter Dean Myers

In my book, the three main characters have wacky nicknames. They were chosen by themselves. Anyway the three of them are in the Dominican Academy Adoption Center. The MoonDance kid and T.J are brothers. Their mom died when they were young, and Mop (a girl) is their best friend. They always play baseball in their spare time. They are all good. But three months later a cool family adopted the MoonDance kid and T.J. Sadly, Mop is still not adopted yet; they still always keep in touch though. T.J and the MoonDance kid asked their mom if they could play for a team called the elks. She said “yes”. And Mop’s noun teacher said she could join too since she likes community things. They play for the elks which not such a good team. The coaches are named Marla and Jim. They are married. The coaches are extremely nice! The three of them have won some games and lost some too. They go through a lot of hard work to be great. They make some errors and they do great things in games. Bad news is in a few weeks the academy is going to move to Riverhead; it’s 12 thousand miles from there. Will Mop head out to Riverhead and not be friends with T.J and the MoonDance kid or will she get adopted and still be best friends. Also will the team get to the playoffs and win the champs! Well if you read this funny, sad, exciting and blissful book, the secrets will be unlocked. So read Me, Mop, and the MoonDance Kid
