1. Good book - Mike Lupica's QB was a highly hyped book, at least in the area I live in. This book was praised by critics from day one, and often compared to the all time sports book great "Friday Night Lights". While QB is a well written book, and a great read, it isn't in the same airspace of Friday Night Lights, mostly because QB in fictional. Still, this book has a great, and realistic story that captures the reader and keeps them reading. Although Lupica is known for shorter books, he did a great job putting together this page book. I feel that this could be Lupica's very best book, and to me was a great read that kept me turning the pages!. Good read!

1. I cried .... - I cried ..... I couldn't believe it ........ It reminded me of how my team ( my team is part of a very rich league called Bert Bell which travels all over Chester and one team in Delaware county ) made it to the championship and lost. We believed though but the team was just better. Needless to say that we were the first team to go to the championship in over years. The team we played was the best ... This year they arnt as good ... If we can get there , I think we have a chance. But this book was amazing. It says not to be selfish and how to always believe you can do something. In the long run.. Everything turns out good!

1. You know what's going to happen, and that's okay. - This book is the classic sports story: ragtag team with something to prove comes back and wins the big game. While not trying to break the mold, it does weave in love story, a cautionary tale about drunk driving, and enough current references to bring in today's readers. It also features a female character that plays "like a boy". Give this book to your tween sports fan, and he (or she) will enjoy it.

2. HEAT - It was a great book of all different surprises. From horrible to awesome shockers!!! It was a great book, but I think they could have made the ending a little bit better. This book is a book for all ages !!!! I would rate this a ten star book!!!!!!! Every chapter was good and every page had a new surprise to it!!!! The ending paragraph could have been added with some more detail. I am ten years old and I really enjoyed the book!!! If your ten or ten thousand I think you will like this book!

3. Best Mike Lupica book!! - this is the best mike lupica book ever. what i really enjoy about his books is that its not just about sports. (just in case you are not the sporty type) they have twists in them and they are so fantastic to read. this book is mysterious, sad, suspenceful, funny, and a pinch of romance. (oh, and dont forget baseball.) please read this...its soooooooo good!!!! ]

1. Babe and me - In this book babe and me I enjoyed the time traveling and how Dan gutman used all of the possible details in this book like the tingling in his fingers when he started to begin his time travel I also admired that in the back of the book is all of the real information from the time of the Great Depression and all of the players and journalists think about the so called shot . I think I should add these things into my writing because I am an author myself and now I am going to read the book abner and me where joe gets stuck in the battle of Gettysburg also by Dan Gutman I can't wait to read it. I say this book is a great buy especially if you are the kind of person who likes adventure books I hope I will be able to say this about the book abner and me once I read it and I will say it again that this book was AMAZING in my opinion and most likely to be yours and also you should check out my book coming soon July called out of the ordinary hope you like both books This was written by ten year old

2. Very cute and fun story^^ - I read this a long time ago and loved it- so naturally I had to have it for my iPod^^ This is a cute idea, having a kid who can use baseball cards to time travel^^ I also enjoyed how Ruth is portrayed here as well- playful and irreverent, yet with a big and generous heart. The only gripe I have is with the e-book version itself- I don't think it downloaded properly as a couple of chapters abruptly cut off at the end.

1. Eh - This is a fairly good book but there are a few things that I thought could be better. . I kept waiting and waiting for a climax to come, never really did . If you know little to nothing about baseball...DON'T BUY THIS BOOK you will be so confused...trust me. But the one good thing that I found was that after almost every chapter i wanted to read a little more! I hope this was helpful!

1. Wagner and me was a great book - In my opinion Wagner and me was a great book mixed with facts and fantasy a reason I liked it is that not only is it teaching the reader something about baseball like telling the reader that the Honus Wagner card is the most valuable card in history which it is and then there is fun added to the story with time traveling now at the end of the day the reader is learning something about baseball and having the interesting suspense of the time traveling and how in this book Stosh has to find out how he can get home

1. Awesome - This book was a good example of what a great teammate is. Pedro is the mainest character and his dad Luis Moreales is opening his own diner. While this is happening Pedro is running for school president against Ned mr. Everything. This is an inspiring story where it shows that the best teammate prevails always, this is a great example of this.
