The Mayor Of Central Park By Avi

Ther is a squirrel named Oscar Westerwit and he lives in New York. He also is the mayor of Central Park, also the short-stop and maneger of the Central Park Green Sox. Mostaly the whole book is about Oscar and his baseball team. He looses his best pitcher and cant find him, the downtown gangsters told him to leave or he would die. So then the gangsters find out about the Central Park and that they have a lot of money that they can steal so they move up there. When they get there his daughter runs off and later finds Oscar. The gangsters whan to take over the whole park so they tell everybody to get off the park. After that they form an army and plan to take it back over, and at the same time Oscar's friend Sam was trying to see what was happening at the park and got shot. Thats how Oscar and the gangsters daughter Maud met, Maud was a nerse and heard that his friend needed help so she went with to help. Then Oscar and his army's plans got told to Mr. Dudds the big gangster by Oscars uncle and so it was no longer a suprise attack. So after they got defeted Oscar asked Dudds to make a deal and the deal was if Oscar won in a baseball game then they get the park back and if he looses then they will leave them alone. So Maud said she would find a really good pitcher just like the one that got sent away. The next day they all were waiting at the baseball field for the good player and then she came out in a baseball uniform, and the Central Park Green Sox won and got there land back.
I liked mostally this whole book it was actually like one of those books that you start to read and get into unlike how some of the teachers say, but what i kind of didn't like was that the pitcher didn't come back. The charecters were pretty tight Oscar wasn't scared and went into battle anyways,Mr.Dudds was a gangster, and his little hench men knew what to know when to know it.It was also pretty easy read, it wasn't hard to read and it was at a slow pase so there wasn't really hard words. I thought the book was pretty believable because it sounds like something everybody would do besides the war part.I recomend this book to others because it is not to challengy and its really interesting.
