In the fascinating story of The Big Field, Mike Lupica shows a lot of breath-taking moments on the field, as well as problems off the field.

Mike Lowell, Rob Bradford

Celebra Hardcover, 2008

Both heartwarming and funny!
The book makes you truly admire Mike Lowell for everything he's accomplished on and off the field. There are moments, where he talks about his cancer diagnosis, and his concerns for his wife and his newborn daughter, and all of a sudden you're on the verge of tears. Then he cracks a joke about Terry "Tito" Francona or David Ortiz, and you find yourself laughing nonstop. I don't get into ...

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

Further adventures of Felix
Felix Castor returns in a dark sequel to The Devil You Know. This time he is trying to contact the ghost of a girl on her parent's behalf, and disentangle his friend Rafi from a rather nasty demon, and pay his rent, and cope with a succubus who wants to be his sidekick. This is edgy, intelligent writing. In spite of, or perhaps because of(like Neil Gaiman), his background in graphic novels, the ...

Mike Chinoy

St. Martin's Press, 2008

The Best Book on North Korea Policy To Date
In this excellent book, former CNN correspondent Mike Chinoy argues that the American failure to prevent North Korea from getting a nuclear bomb was the result of a combination of vicious, petty, and paralyzing bureaucratic warfare in Washington, an American unwillingness to negotiate, and North Korean brinkmanship. Chinoy makes his case through a well-written, surprisingly exciting, and ...

You have to have read the first two books to read this one. This is an on going chess game between Resnick, the author, and you, the reader. The first tdwo set up the story line of a wandering Navy hero without a country with a ship and crew of dedicated followers roaming the edges of space looking for a purpose. You had the story of them getting kicked out of the navy and then the story of ...

The Greastest Game Ever Played Middle School Style
And... it's good! I think it was brilliant for Mike Lupica to name his book the Two-Minute Drill. A reason I enjoyed reading this book was that it shows how one friend can make all the difference. Also, the way the main charters, Scott and Chris worked together to solve their challenges is something I liked. Chris encourages Scott to join the football team. My favorite charter is Chris because he ...

Real World discrepency
I have not actually read the book yet, but am looking forward to it. A few members have been mentioning about the "Real World" mistake. Maybe he meant Road Rules or Real World/Road Rules Challenge. That's all that I can think of. I agree that this mistake should have been caught! Oh well.

Hoop-hoop-hoop!
As a Language Arts teacher, I am always searching for books that will get my young male charges into reading, especially those kids who think that athletes don't need to be able to read to succeed. Telling them this just doesn't work, but getting them to read things they can relate to does! Hot Hand is one of those books. Billy Raynor is a ten year old basketball player. He's good, really ...
