The book i read was the kid who only hit homers by Matt Christopher. This was a short but interesting book to read. Its about baseball and how this kid only hits home runs. At first,he tries out for his baseball team and he does a very bad job and does not make it but then this guy that only Sylvester could see came up too him and had a good conversation. The main character in this book would have to be either Sylvester or the imaginary dude that he thinks is real and everyone else should see him. This book was interesting because i like sports and its a sports book so it wasn't that bad that it was short. The man ends up the reason why he can hit so many home runs because at the end when the man disappears at the end of the book, Sylvester last game he ends up getting his first strike out.

  During the beginning of the book, that's when he was introduced to Mr baruth at the baseball fields. After that part, the book was really interesting and i did enjoy it because it was all about baseball and not something boring that dose not catch my eye and also because it was all about finding out who this guy is because no one could see him but Sylvester and about baseball and it would give specific details throughout chapters about the baseball games so i never got bored with the book. One part that i enjoyed about the book is when Sylvester went to baseball try outs not thinking he would get completely rejected. Then that man Mr baruth comes over to Sylvester and talks to him. He tells him that he wants to help him learn how to play baseball. Sylvester took his help and went to try out next try out but coach wouldn't let him but Sylvester went anyway and when they saw him bomb a home run and catch a fly ball, they reconsidered him to play on the team. Also i like the part when the coach wouldn't really let him be in the line up. He would bat 9 and play outfield every time. But then he comes up to bat and with a crack of the bat he swings and the ball goes flying out of the park. Those are my favorite parts because no one thought this kid who stunk the other day in practice bomb a home run in his first game and then from there he was doing the same thing every game. He never got struck out. I liked this book because i used to play baseball and i would enjoy a book about sports or baseball better then i would a love story or adventure story as well.

  I would recommend this book to people who either love to read and love sports books or to people who don't like to read like me and just pick a book that is short and about something i enjoy. I also recommend this book to like kids who don't maybe read to good or just interested in reading. Also if you like the author or any other sports and wanted to try a different sports book then you should read this one because its easy to read,its short for people who aren't fluent about reading and who are a slow reader. I enjoyed this book for the same reason because i don't like to read but i had to so i chose a book that looked easy and that was short so i could be successful and get it done. I enjoyed this book alot and i hope the people who chose to read this feels the same way i do about the book and hopefully can get better at reading since its a short and easy worded book. I enjoyed the book and hope you do as well.
