Rivals by Tim Green

Hello, I’m going to review the book Rivals by:Tim Green. Josh is thrilled when all his hard training pays off in a big way and his team, the Titans makes it to a national tournament in Cooperstown, home of the National Baseball Hall Of Fame. Winning would mean everything to his Dad the Titans Coach. After a dirty play and brutal injury threatens to sideline Josh. While at the tournament Josh sees suspicious things at a Comet’s game. Josh tries to tell his friend Jaden about it but she’s to busy spending time with the Comet’s star pitcher Mickey Mullen Jr. Jaden says she’s doing research for the newspaper... but is she? Now Josh has a rival on and off the field. As Josh swings fro the fences in a game that quickly becomes dangerous.
Tim Green is the author of the New York Times Best Seller Baseball Great . A famous quote is “Green delivers a fast-paced story, told in short chapters that build to the exciting climax” ALA Booklist. I think this book is a lot like Football Hero because Ty faces chalenges just like Josh does. Other books by Tim Green are: Baseball Great, Best of the Best, Deep Zone, The Big Time, Football Champ, and Football Genius. A quote I liked is when Josh said to Benji, “ Dude did you pee your pants.” I really liked this book and it kept me on the edge of my seat and I hope you read it too.
