    This book was a very nice. I really liked how they made Duncan's, April's, and Nate's stories and then combine them with the Scrabble tournament. It is a great read than I would recommend especially if you love Scrabble or Words with Friends.

    In the book there was a kid named Duncan who could read with his finger tips. Duncan and his friends took him to a Scrabble tournament. In the book, Duncan’s mom didn’t want him to show people so they won’t think he is weird. That is why you should read this book. It is very funny.

    The Finger Tips of Duncan Dorfman is a funny, entertaining novel about a boy named Duncan trying to rise to the top and win the prize money in the Scrabble tournament. He makes lots of friends along the way and has a bunch of fun! I really recommend reading this book. It has all the qualities that a good book needs: entertainment, action and a great ending. You’ll have to read the book to find out what happens!
