The Batboy

  I read the book The Batboy. This book was written by Mike Lupica. This book is about a boy named Brian who wanted to be the batboy of the Detroit Tiger baseball team. I choose this book because I like to read sports books and this looked like a good one.

  In the book The Batboy Brian wanted to be the batboy of the Detroit Tigers. But there were many challenges Brian had to face along the way like the fact that Brian wasn't old enough for the batboy and that was making Brian mad. So Brian writes a letter to the owner of the Detroit Tigers and ends up winning the job of the batboy and getting to live his dream.

  Two things that I liked about the book were that it was a book about sports and another is that it was about never giving up on your dream if you really want it. Two things that I didn't like about the book is that when Brian gets the job and he goes to meet his hero(Hank Bishop) he turned out to be nothing like Brian expected and another is that his dad when he came up to visit he payed absolutly no attention to Brian and hung out with some old buddies from baseball. I would say this book is appropriate for the age groupe of 8 and up. I would would recommend this book to sombody who likes to read sports books. By: Zach vavcarelli
