This is a must read book for anyone who loves intresting books!
This book is a great book about a kid named Michael Arroyo. He came on a boat with his father from Cuba. He loves the sport Baseball and it loves him. His father has died in May and now it's up to him and his brother to try to keep his secret. But in the middle of the book he has to get his birth certificate or else he can't play Baseball. I'm telling you read this book!

The Heat is a great Lesson Too!
My son read this book for his a/r goal at school. He had a couple of issues himself at school about being nervous before a performance and made up a little white lie and got caught. This was a great book to show how little white lies can grow and hurt peoples feelings even if you don't intend that to be the end result.

Want more than Matt Christopher?
Great book for kids ready for something a little more challenging than Matt Christopher's sports books. A great read, no questionable themes or language.
