Football Hero
Tim Green
What character did you dislike?
I disliked the character Big Al, the head gambler, because he always is trying to hide away behind his gambler buddies.
I also dislike Lucy, bar owner who is in cahoots with Big Al, because he tried to destroy Thanes knee and end his career so that Big Al wouldn’t loss his bet.

I read Toby Wheeler Eighth-Grade Benchwarmer because I like sports fiction and also because it reminds me of another book I read, Heat. They have to overcome problems of playing baseball in a different country they haven’t been in before and it was illegal. As you can guess, Toby Wheeler has problems.

I liked the book Stumptown Kid by Carol Gorman. It had a lot of action. The book starts with the main character, Charlie, gets cut from the baseball team. Then he meets a former baseball player named Luther. Luther helps Charlie get better. Then Charlie and all the other kids that got cut form their own team and Luther is the coach. What they dont know is that Luther has a secret that puts him in danger. If you like sports books then you should read the book Stumptown Kid.

If you like thrilling, bonerattling experiance, then you will love Crossover by Jeff Rud. It is a sports book about basketball and what all Kyle Evans has to deal with in life. Its not all about sports tho; it has some other school activites. There is also a bulley named Stillman that ends up suspended from school. I really don’t like reading, but now i want to read more. So, if you liek what i told you so far then read more! It’s a great book!

The Diamond Champs By,Matt Christopher
This book was an all-around okay book. The parts i liked the most about the book were the characters. The characters included boys and girls, which to me is unique for a sports book. There were also parts of the book that didn’t make much sense to me. The beginning of the story starts off a little confusing, but after the second chapter I started to the plot and from there on out the book was a definte cliff-hanger.
My favorite part in this book was how their coach was the mysterious type, which led to curiosity from hi players on what kind of person he really was. The kid in this story i would probaly get along with the most would probaly be Eric because we relate in a way. For example Eric is the kind of kid that has a lot of pressure compared to most of his teammates. All in all i’ve read a lot of Matt Christopher books and each book is alike in a way. Like there is always an individual or group trying to reach some sort of goal. Either it’s a championship or personal stats-all sports books are related

Catch That Pass by Matt Christopher

This book is about a star football player with one problem he is scared to get tackled. Jim the main charecter, plays middle line backer and is the hardest hitter on the team. He can’t inercept the ball because he is afraid of getting hit and its costing them games. Jim works on his fear throughout the season, with an angery team and a disappointed brother (coach) as his motivation. Someone else is willing to step up and help Jim though. This is a good book for anyone who likes sports, and wants a book that is fast-paced and starts you right in the action.
