Cuban-born Michael Arroyo is a phenomenal little league baseball player. One day he hopes to play for the pros, but for this year, he is hoping his Bronx little league team can make it to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. At 12 years old, this is his last chance. Michael is so good that players and coaches from other teams begin to question his age. What will happen to Michael if he can’t get a copy of his birth certificate from Cuba? In addition to this difficulty, Michael and his brother Carlos have been keeping a secret. Their father died in March and they are trying to make it on their own until Carlos turns 18 in nine months. I loved this story!

Well I’m back & ready to talk! Anyway, this book sounds great and I bet it’s got a whole lot of suspenseful moments. Am I right, or am I definitely right?! Hopefully I’m not wrong.

I’ve heard great things about this book. I’ve read other books by this author and loved them. Mrs. Spisak, how many copies do you have of this book?
February 18th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
I’ve seen a lot of people reading these books, but mostly boys. I don’t think I will like it.
