One-Handed Catch

The One-Handed Catch was a good and fairly easy read. I was surprised that I got through it fairly quickly since I usually despise any book with sports in it, but this was my one exception. Even though the main character loses his hand, the author describes none of the gruesome images, but instead uses comedy to cover the urgent atmosphere, so you don't need to worry about being grossed out. This book also has almost no bad words in it, so if you want a clean book this would be a good pick.

Miracle on 49th Street

My book this month was Miracle on 49th Street by Mike Lupica. This book was sorta like a sports book and a romance book. I liked how the characters were very different in their personalities and stuff. It was kind of creepy how Molly just hops into Josh's car before she evens knows himIt was still a really good book.

Swindle

     This months genre was sports so I read Swindle by Gordon Korman. I don't really know how it's a sports book, but it is a good book all the same. The book is focused on a kid who is trying to get a baseball card that a shopkeeper "Swindle" swindled him out of. I liked this book because it made you think. It also made you fell for the characters. I would reccomed this book to anyone fourth grade to eighth grade.

The Boy Who Saved Baseball

If you are a fan of sports books with a quirky twist to them, then you need to read this book by John H. Ritter. It is filled with sports talk as a local baseball team becomes responsible for the fate of the entire town. Ritter has a lot of fun inventing new words to describe the action, and his vivid language choices only enhance the action. The ending of the book is really unexpected.

The best part of the book is the richness with which Ritter develops each of the main characters. They seem to jump off the page, they are that realistic.

Change Up: Mystery at the World Series

Do you like Sport-Mystery books? If you do, this is the book for you. This book is about two teenage sportswriters who think that they have came up with a story at the World Series. Did they really come up with a story, or is it a hoax, read the book to find out.

A Surprise Twist!

             This month's genre is sports! I decided to choose Melissa Lowell's " A Surprise Twist".
This book is an easy read with a simple plot, and relatable characters. It's about a girl with big skating dreams, but soon skating soon becomes a chore instead of a passion. This book relates to kids, tweens, and teens everywhere who are still figuring out their own interests and talents. It's short and gets straight to the point, which is why I give Melissa Lowell two thumbs up!
