Catcher with a Glass Arm by Matt Christopher
4th grader Kyle says, "This book is about a kid who has
a lot of trouble getting guys out because they steal bases. If he throws too
hard, the opponent would move to another base for the overthrow to second.
His teammates lose hope of being one of the best teams. It is very
suspenseful too and you want to know the solution to his problem and if he
is going to win! The thing that makes this book special is how you question
yourself. Like saying how is he going to improve or is he going to mess the
play up. Read the book to find all the suspense in the story." |
