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.
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.
Heat is an extraordinary book who was accused of being older than he really is. However, he overcame people's opinions and hung in there. With the help of his bestfriend Manny Cabrera, the lady upstairs (Mrs.Cora), and Ellie Gonzalez, Michael is able to retrieve his Birth Certificate in his native Cuba. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys reading a book jam-packed with sports facts and suspense.
