I don't exactly play baseball or am even into it, so it was kind of confusing for me. The book though is pretty inspiring and there's this one twist that just will make you so surprised, but I won't spoil anything.

I think that Finding Buck McHenry is a good book because it's about a boy who thinks that his old schools custodian is the greatest right-handed baseball pitcher Buck McHenry.
Great book, inspiring, awesome book, learn about history and the secret behind Mr.Mack Henry in Finding buck mchenry. with a boy that was rejected by his team and is forced to join the new reject team
It's a good book and tells kids about the importance of sports and if you like books that are like mystery I think you will like this book!!!!!!😄😃😉 My reason I like this book is that Jason and Aaron are trying to make a team are trying to be nice and make a team
I think that Finding Buck McHenry is good book because it's really detailed. It's about a boy who thinks that his old school custodian Mack Henry used to be the greatest right hand pitcher in the old negro leagues Buck McEnry but he's not, he lied to Jason and his friends
I don't really like this book Beacause Mr.henery lies I really don't like liers.It also makes jayson cry that is why is why I dident really like that book.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good book about a kid who needs a team and goes on a adventure to find people to play on his new team.
I would recommend this book to people who like baseball.
I feel that this is a wonderful book to let students learn about some important things that have happened in the world of sports in America's history.
