LIFE IN THE FAST LANE: OUR BOWLING TRIP

Life in the Fast Lane: Our Bowling Trip is about adults from a school getting together to go bowling. Bowling is a fun thing and you can meet new friends. Bowling is for people of all ages. Some of the people in the book are disabled but they didn't care if they were disabled or not.

The book talks about teams helping each other, laughing and feeling good about yourself. When they got a strike, they shout and tell each other they did good work. When Cathy's ball went in the gutter, they assured her that she would do good next time. People that bowl or would like to learn about bowling would enjoy this book. A class of beginners could read the book together. Better readers could read it on their own. The book would be easy for people that are good readers. They might find it boring.

Every other page is a photograph. They are happy, cheerful pictures. There are four to twenty words on each page and lots of white space. The book is not racist or sexist. It's just people out there having fun, having a good time, bowling.
