My favorite book is definitely "Scorpia," which is about a boy named John who works for a spy company. I go to Harrison Middle School. The music that I like to listen to is rock and pop. I especially like the band "Blue October." One thing about me that everyone knows is that I'm a baseball freak!!! As I said before, I love the Yankees.
