The book I read was Lou Gehrig. This book starts off as Lou Gehrig being a kid he plays baseball with kids who are about 2 years older than him when he came to the sandlot all the kids said, "Get out of here fatty", he just didnt really say anything back. Then one day he and a kid got in a fight and the kid was 8 and Lou was 6 and Lou won. Then one day when Lou went down to the washers to wash laundry he got 50 cents and he gave it to his mother. He also had to a lot of other chores and earn money for his mom. One day his mom went to the lake and got pickled eels and sold them at the food market. The next morning they went out before school to play baseball and Mr. Fish cakes came out and said they couldn't play so they played a trick on him, they put a scarecrow that looked like a dead person and then he went up there then they came out laughing. Then a couple years later Lou goes to highschool and tries out for the baseball team. He made it, so they won some games and made it to the championships in Chicago. They won there, then the book talks about how he goes to the New York Yankees and they win the World Series.
This was very good. I enjoyed it so much that I finished it in 2 weeks. The book is about baseball and Lou Gehrig. It is written like a life event or a time line. I recommend this book to Isaiah. By Gabe, 6th Grade Reader
