Kicking and Screaming By Susan Korman BookReview by Asher S The story takes place mostly in a soccer field in Highland Heights in modern times. The story is about a kid named Sam who played on the Gladiators. The team Is coached by his grandfather Buck who is very competitive about all sports. He didn't give a lot of playing time to Sam. So then Grandpa Buck traded Sam to the Tigers the worst team in the league. So dad (Phil) got very mad at his father. So in the first game of the season. The coach of the Tigers doesn't come. So Phil coached them for the game. And after the game he decides to be head coach. So he watches A lot of sport's movies and read books to be a good coach. After losing every game he decides to have Mike Ditka as A assistant coach. Coach Mike found two Italians stars to play on the Tigers. And they won every game but the big problem is Phil is starting to be like his father. And also doesn't give enough playing time to Sam. So when the Tigers and Gladiators get in the championship it’s a very competitive game and the winner is… I highly recommend this book cause it's so good that I was interested the whole time even though I don’t like soccer. The book is good for 4-8 grade and for book reviews. It is also very appropriate there is no romance just soccer. It's good for boys and girls. Nice book to read with hot cocoa and snacks (ice cream).
