Summary
This book is about a baseball player named Lou Gehrig. He played for the New York Yankees and was an extremely good player. When he was in his 30's he began to not be able to hit and field as he had done in the past. He was diagnosed with a deadly disease now known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease". He passed away at the age of 36.
Evaluation
I love this book. I am a huge baseball fan and even though I'm not a fan of the Yankees and love the Braves, this tells the story of a man who loved the game of baseball and never gave up. He had such a positive outlook on life and his condition even when he knew the outcome was not good.
Teaching Idea
This book would be good when teaching about narrative nonfiction. It is a true story of a person's life. You could read this to the students and then have them create their own story about their self. It would also be great to engage sports fans who do not enjoy reading very much.
