  4. travel team • The genre of my book is sports. The settings in my book are school, home, Hanesboro. The characters in my book are Danny, Mom, Dad, Ty Ross, Mr.Ross, Teddy Moran. The plot is that Danny wants to play basketball but he is too small. So, Danny goes to try out’s for the Travel Team and the coach thought he was good enough to make the team. Danny’s team won the school’s championships. I thought this book was very good. It talked a lot about how Danny wanted to play basketball. This book is very good to read when talking about bullying. I would tell somebody about this book and hope they would check this book out.

  5. Batboy • The genre of my book is sports. The book describes how the boy and baseball connect. The characters in my story are Liz Dudley (Brian's mom), The boy (Brian), idle (Hank Bishop), friends ( Finn, Kenny) and his boss (Davey Schenkel). My setting takes place between Comerica, Brian's house, and the Sting’s baseball field. The problem in my story was Brian didn’t get along with his idle, Hank Bishop and his dad left him when he was a kid. Eventually Brian gets along with Hank and he gets to see his dad every once in a while. In my opinion I like the Batboy. I'm not a big fan of baseball but I was interested in the Batboy. I will most likely get another book by Mike Lupica.
