Book Review
I think this is a good book for any children who don't know what to do if they don't like the same things as their friends
The front cover has children on it so I would definitely choose this book if I saw it in the library – I like reading stories about children.
The story is about some boys that are all friends. Jay wants to do computer club but he thinks that his friends will think that he is a geek so he does not tell them. All the other boys want to play football and they want Jay to join in too but he is not very good and doesn’t want to be in the team.
Jay tells his friends a lie each time he goes to the computer club, but then Noah sees him in the classroom and is not happy. It is not good to tell lies because it’s not being respectful to your friends.
If I was in the same situation as Jay, I would tell my friends I want to do a different club and please don’t call me a geek because that is not kind. It makes me happy that Noah and Jay talk about what has happened and are still friends. They are both my favourite characters. I think Mr Chan is a good teacher because he wants to help all the children.

About the Book
Can you be true to yourself without losing your friends along the way? Jay is excited about a game-design project being worked on by the Computing Club at school. He wants to join in, but there’s a big problem.
Jay’s friends think Computing is only for nerds and they want him to join a new football team with them. Both activities happen at the same time, so Jay has to choose.
Can he find the courage to tell his friends how he really feels, and if he does, will it mean their friendship is over …?
