Batboy by Mike Lupica

The book that I am going to do my book review on is, Batboy. It is written by Mike Lupica.It is about a kid named Brian and how he wants to get his dream job, Being a Batboy! He tried to get it when he was fifteen and they said he had to wait a year. So, the next year he wrote a letter and got the job, with the Tigers. After he had been working with the Tigers for a while, his all-time favorite player got drafted to the team. Brian thinks he is a hero until he finds out the truth. Read to find out what happens with brian and how he figures this out. This is a great book that is filled with twists and turns at every page. This book is probably more for boys than for girls. I liked this book because it is easy to relate to because Brian is my age. The recommended reading age is 10 and up.Other books by the same author are, Travel Team, Heat, Summer Ball, The Big Field and many more. He has been the New York times bestselling author, and has many bestselling books. People who bought this also bought, Two-Minute Drill (Comeback Kids), Travel Team, The Big Field, Heat, Hero, and Long Shot. A quote that I liked from the book was, “ Brian Felt like he was close enough to baseball that he could reach out and grab it.” I liked this because it shows how much Brian loves baseball. A quote from Kirkus reviews is, “This book is great who ever likes sports and sadness and action read this and you will not stop reading this book and you will love it.” Overall I thought this was a great book!
