I hope you’ve been reading the new list of 2008-09 SCJBA books. There are some great books on the list! Some favorites that I’ve heard students talking about are: Blood on the River, Cracker!, The Mailbox, Black Duck, Bella at Midnight…just to mention a few.

Heat is another one you might want to read.   

Heat

by Mike Lupica

 

Cuban born twelve-year-old Michael Arroyo is a pitching sensation.  When a jealous coach endangers Michael’s participation in the Little League district finals, Michael has no parent to help prove that he is eligible for the team, no birth certificate from Cuba, and now he is running out of hope.
