Archie is told by his mom not to play soccer while on family vacation. He makes deals with his siblings to get them to play soccer with him, despite the ban. To his brother, he agreed to pay him two candy bars a day. He had to make a lot of promises for his sister. Told in a colorful comic book style, this story will prompt discussions on teamwork and obedience.

Although this story had something surprising, it didn’t interest or excite me. Besides, I think that the hero and the girl shouldn’t have escaped from what they didn’t want to face. In this story, I could find nothing which made me feel good and made characters happy.

Tom wanted to be jockey but his family opposed, so he ran away from home. He could hitchhike a car and met Mr.Masters and Shirley. Mr.Masters asked Tom to do a job. He needed to earn money to make his dream reality, so he accepted.
I couldn't understand what this story wanted to tell so much. Especially the end of the story.
