Review

If i were to rate this book from 1 to 10 and 10 being the best. I would give it a 9.I gave it an 9 because in some parts of the story there is holes. For example in the beginning of the book it doesnt talk a lot about how he did in eight grade. All it says is that his team was descent and he was the best player on the team. It talked a lot about how he was short and that got boaring. He was very scared when he went to the camp because he was short and the best players in the country. This made the book very interesting. It made me want to keep reading. There were many good parts to the book. I would recommened this book to a teenager that is interested in sports. Overall i enjoyed reading and i hope you will to.
