The book my review is on the book The Blind Side. It’s about a boy named Micheal Oher that grew up running from the cops because he was suppose to be in a foster home. His mom was addicted to crack-cocaine so the cops didn’t believe she was in good enough condition to care for her 15 or so children. The cops finally gave up after a year or so, Michael didn’t go to school from the age 10 to about 12. He spent all of his days playing basketball. Not owning a mirror he thought he was going to be the next Michael Jordan, until he started getting slower and slower he realized that he was becoming fat. He got his grades back on track thanks to the Tuohy’s, now he plays for the Baltimore Ravens. The recommended age for reading this book is young adult. A quote from the book is “ I was taking him to the bus.” Right after Michael took the defender across the field and into the fence around the field. He was sick of listening to the guy’s racial comments so he decided it was time for him to go home. The Library Journal says, “ His strange, sad, and yet inspiring tale is grippingly told here.”
