On of my all time favorite books that i am currently reading is Heat by Mike Lupica. I could just tell by looking at the cover that this book was made for me to read, and me who is not the biggest reader to have a book that actually makes me not want to stop reading is amazing.

The main thing i think i like most is the fact that its a teenage boy named Michael who loves to play baseball its his favorite sport just like me. Another thing is that its held in the Bronx of New York and by the actual Yankees Stadium. It has all kinds of everyday life things occur he eats at McDonald's and plays baseball on a little Scrap field for fun, but also plays for the best traveling team maybe in the nation. He is living in fear his whole life because his dad is back in Cuba and its just him and his brother stuck with no birth certificates. This really makes me pay attention because its so intense you never know what is going to happen. Michael and his team have made it to the Little League World Series and he is there ace pitcher, but when time comes around how will he prove his age?

This book is a definite 5 stars and is a great book for any gender and any age. It is filled with intense fear, playing the game of baseball, and hard work. Its a great moral story and a definite book that i wouldn't mind reading again.
