This book is called Dean Duffy, by Randy Powell. It is about a baseball player. I choose this book because it is at my reading level and I like to play baseball. If you like to play baseball, you will like this book too. Dean is the main character, a former high school baseball star. His future is hampered by a struggling slump and a bad arm. He had a chance when a mentor arranges a baseball scholarship to an exclusive private college. I can relate to the main character of the story, because I used to play baseball for my school team. Once I also had an arm injury, I couldn’t joined the practice for two weeks. I felt nervous too, because we had an important game up - coming. So overall I really enjoy reading it. I would definitely recommend this book to any baseball fans.
