Bull+Catcher.

This summer I read __Bull Catcher__ by Alden R. Carter. This book is about friends trying 2 pursue their childhood dream of being a major league baseball player. They have some problems when they are playing baseball on and off the field. The main characters in this book are Neil “Bull” who plays catcher for his baseball team, Jeff who plays shortstop, and Neil’s Grandpa who is his legal guardian. Neil and Jeff are trying to make the varsity baseball team as a sophomore. They end up making the team and playing on it from then until senior year. Then they find out who is going to play college baseball and who can’t. I highly recommend this book to all baseball fans. - Jake Kann

I have read a book like this before, and I really like this kind of book. Sports mixed in with reality and life lessons really help people understand what the characters are going through and help them relate with the book characters. This is a book that I would pick up and read from time to time, as it is about one of my favorite sports and it also shows the struggles of the two friends. These kinds of books are like contemporary fiction, but they focus more on sports, while contemporary fiction usually only focuses on the life of the person. these kinds of books are in my opinion, the best kind of books.
