Kids Books - Sports

It is kind of a good book.

I love this book

Have you ever felt left out and like you can't do anything about it? Like you can't control your life? That's how Tim Howard felt in the beginning of this great book called The Keeper by Tim Howard with Ali Benjamin. Now, this isn't a story about how no matter what happens, Tim Howard will always come out on top. It's not a story about Tim Howard saving every single shot that comes his way. This book is real life. This shows how life isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Especially for Tim Howard. You see, Tim Howard has a disease called TS,(Tourette syndrome.). That makes the protagonist and antagonist of this book, Tim Howard, because when he was a kid, he always tried to hide his disease and he was always fighting with himself, trying to not let the disease control him. That's one conflict in this book that gets resolved by Tim as an adult becoming open about his Tourette syndrome, so kids around the world can have an easier time dealing with it than he did. Another conflict is when Tim gets benched for one mistake on Manchester United and he doesn't think that's fair, so he goes to play for Everton as the starting goalie. The conflict gets resolved in a game pitting Manchester United against Everton, but you'll have to read the book to see how it gets resolved. This book shows around a 35-40 year portion of Tim Howard's still continuing life. If you love soccer like I do or even if you don't this book has an amazing and inspiring story, because there's just as many bad moments in his life as good which makes this book real, true and a big recommend.

What would you do if you found out information that could risk someone's life? Would you keep it to yourself or would you tell someone? The title of my book is Payback Time the author is Carl Deuker. The book takes place in a big city called Philadelphia and on a football field. The main character's name is Daniel but everyone calls him Mitch because they think he looks like the Michelin Man. He is a reporter for the Lincoln Light. His best friend in the story is a girl named Kimi. She is the school photographer for the Lincoln Light. Mitch and Kimi also submit their stories about the school football games to the sports editor, Chet the Jet, at the Seattle Times. Their stories are usually about a cornerback named Angel Marichal. Angel is a great player but doesn’t get a lot of playing time. Mitch doesn’t understand why Coach McNulty doesn’t play him a lot. Also, Chet the Jet always cuts the parts about Angel out of the stories Mitch sends him. Mitch decides he wants to find out why. Mitchs calls the town where Angel is from but gets a bad feeling from the person he is talking to. Mitch doesn’t give him a lot of information except that Angel now goes to Lincoln High. Mitch couldn’t shake the bad feeling he had. He went to Coach McNulty to ask questions. Coach said to meet me at a local restaurant and he would tell me everything. Coach told Mitch that when Angel was around 12 he saw 2 gangs have a shoot out. There was a boy in the middle of the shoot out and was hit. Angel ran over and pulled the boy to safety but it was too late. The boy died. Angel told the cops who the gang members were and they went to jail. Now the other gang members are after Angel to kill him. Mitch realizes the guy he talked to must be part of the gang. He now needs to figure out how to fix what he has done. Mitch realizes that the gang will come to the championship gang to hurt Angel. The players tunnel is the best place for the gang to corner him. Mitch sees the gang car in the parking lot next to the back fence. Before the game Mitch silently crawled along the back fence to the car. Then he laid down under the car and the doors opened. He waited for the gang members to get back into the car then he put a knife into one of the tires. He left the knife in the tire until it slowly went flat. Mitch then silently crawled back along the fence and went to the game. Lincoln High won the game. Mitch was still nervous that something bad was going to happen. After the game he went to the players tunnel to see if everything was ok. When everyone was coming out Angel and Coach McNulty were the last to come out. They said their goodbyes to each other. When it was all over Mitch went to his car, looked over at the gang car and saw the guys trying to fix their flat tire. Mitch felt like a hero for saving Angels life. Angel moved away and we never saw the gang members again. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves suspenseful or action/sports books. This book had a lot of twists and turns. There were a lot of surprises. They did a great job of going into detail about the football games as they happened.

This is actually very interesting to me! I love it about how it involves baseball, and basically...sports!
