Cover-Up: Mystery at the Super Bowl

COVER-UP by John Feinstein

Stevie and Susan are teen writers and stars of a new TV show, Kids-Sports. They go to lots of events as reporters, but it seems wherever they are a deep, dark secret is uncovered. But, this time, during the Super Bowl it's not going to happen. I mean it's the Super Bowl, what could go wrong? Because of a slinky business deal Susan and Stevie aren't working with each other. They soon realize that the only way their problems can be solved is if they work as a pair. The hard part is everyone around them doesn't want them working together....

This book was a delightful read for me since I absolutely love football. Even though Stevie is the opposite gender of me, I felt at many points I could really relate to his life and thoughts. I believe any football or sports fan would enjoy Cover-Up and want more when it's done. This is John Feinstein's third book about Stevie and Susan and definitely my favorite. A bit of language and boyfriend/girlfriend content, but overall a very suitable book.

Author Interview: Brent Hartinger

Hello! I'm so so so so sorry it has taken me so long to post. I just finished my first quarter in school. It has been interesting going to a private school and it's a lot different than homeschooling. But, I am enjoying it lots and have had many fun adventures.

When ever I can I have been participating in some author chats put on by readergirlz. See Miss Erin's post on this here. Last night we were able to talk with Brent Hartinger. See my review of his book Dream Quest here. He was kind enough to answer some of my questions:

Do you want to be writing books all your life, if not, what else do you want to do?
Good question! I'm working on some film projects right now (screenplays mostly, but we have plans to start a production company). So....I'd like to write for TV, and movies, and produce more plays. And keep writing books. And create world peace while I'm at it!

What Is your favorite movie?
Well, THE LORD OF THE RINGS! ;-)

If you could meet any person in the world, who would it be?
Hmmmm, lately maybe Peter Jackson

Thanks a bunch, Brent!

Joe Jaszewski / The Idaho Statesman

My Broncos played two days ago (Thursday night) and they smashed their opponents (Southern Mississippi) 38-16. Dad and I were able to watch the game, but that was easier said then done.


It was an early game in Idaho so it started about 7:30ish here. We started out at a sports bar with a huge TV, but really no sound since there was loud music playing. Through out the night it got really smoky (cigarettes from people around us) but we were watching our Broncos and there was no way we were going to leave.



But, then about 9:30, karaoke started. Yes, it did. The first two people were actually pretty good, but then the third person started and wow...his talent was NOT singing. The smoke got so bad I was having a hard time breathing and so we left.



We raced home, got some blankets, chairs, and I got my inhaler and Dad and I went down to our apartment’s exercise room. It was the only other place that had a TV. So, we sat there in the freezing cold (yes, they keep it very very cold), filling our lungs with clean air and screaming for our team, the Broncos.

It was a wonderful game and we were up till about 11:30 on a school night, but it was all worth it.
