Movie Summaries Here are summaries for the book "Skinnybones", created using [|www.xtranormal.com]! In this book, a 6th grade boy named Alex struggles to fit in. He plays baseball, and has an enemy in his class named TJ Stoner, who also plays baseball. Much of the story demonstrates how Alex's big mouth gets him into embarrassing situations - such as competing with TJ in a pitching contest. Alex is able to overcome all of the embarrassment and eventually finds a way to beat TJ.

These summaries were created by 5th grade students to explain the story to those who may not have read it before.
