Danielle:

Dear Mr. Spinelli,
'Crash' is a really good book. Our class is reading it and it is a good book. Everyone loves it! Your work is so interesting and funny. We are on the last chapter and it's kind of sad but then again funny. I want to no why Crash let him win? I think it is because Penn's great grandfather was there and that he didn't have much time to live well because he is 93 years old!
Well I hope you write back and I will show the class and I hope you come out with even more books about crash and his adventures!
Well Write back -Danielle

I love this book were reading it in class I love it, it's amazing how one person can change into a totally new person, and right after scooters stroke. That would have been scary if that happened to me. Everyone loves your book, you have a creative way to write. I hope you can write back soon!!!!!

Write back soon-CaSeY


still love your books =]

Ishara Quick:

I am currently reading crash. I'm not too far into the book but i am very interested in where i am at which is around chapter 17. I have realized that you engage the reader by writing about situations likely to happen to the age group of the reader. My whole class is doing an author study on several different authors and I am glad to have you. You are a very creative writer and I hope that you continue to successfully write books.

Tyler MacQueen:

I think Crash is one of the best books i have ever read [so far.] I like it for so many reasons i mean it is funny [in some parts], it has a lot of stuff that you can relate to in real life, and it is just all around cool.

dear mr.spenelli
this book is realy great my teacher is reading it to the class and we haven't finish reading it. the book is so great that when the techer stops reding it for the day we beg her to read more. i think people like it because it talks about to different boys that are not alike in anything. their parents are different because pineweb parents are really old put really happy, they eat like a family, and lake trips, but crash parents are always tired because they work too much and never have family time. crash is always making fun of pineweb and his family and pineweb doesn't get mad a like a boy would. so thats why i think is a great story.

Alex:

this book is extremly good. my class read the book in fourth or fifth grade and now im in seventh grade and I had to do a book report and make a front page for the book. it is coming along great. so i've read the book twice and i NEVER read book and i NEVER EVER read them twice so you'll know if it is a good book if i read it multiple times.

Marissa Stewart:

MR. SPINELLI CRASH IS AN AMAZING BOOK TO READ IF YOU LIKE DRAMA, FOOTBALL, AND LIKE TO LAUGH!!!!!!!THIS IS A BRILLIANT BOOK

nelley:

sincerly,
nelley!!!
