Hot Hand (Comeback Kids Series) Book

I read the book "Hot Hands" by Mike Lupica. I have always really liked Mike Lupica's books, but in this one, there was more to the book. I can honestly say this is my favorite book I have ever read. I love basketball which is what this book is about, but it's more about stepping outside a person's comfort zone and doing something that can make him happy, but can make family happy too.

The book is told from 3rd person narrator. The author tells the book in direct and indirect characterization to tell this story. The author says the main character and his best friend love basketball, but it didn't say the main character, Billy, loved his little brother, ben, until he stuck up for him at recess, when he was getting bullied.

The story takes place in a small town just like mine. The parents split up, so the kids have to decide where they want to live. The dad leaves so they are forced to stay with their mom, and now that the family is feeling hurt, it pulls the three of them together, and they will always have each other back, especially at school.

As a family people don't always enjoy doing the same activities. Billy, the main character, plays basketball, but his brother, loves playing the piano and the big day for both of them lands on the same day. Their mom is out of town and their dad is the basketball coach, so he said he has to be at the game. Billy realizes no one would be there for his brother, so he misses his own game to go support his brother. Sometimes people have to make sacrifices for loving people and maybe someday that person will be all people have and want them to have everyones back, and those little acts of kindness can make all the difference.

This book has a lot of interesting facts someone, not only like me, but many other teens would like. It's easy to read and understand, and since it's a sports book, for many people the book won't get boring. It keeps people on the edge of the reader seat, never knowing what will happen next, and that how I felt, so I just keep on reading to find out. However, even though anyone could really enjoy this book, I mainly believe this book would be appreciated by boys and girls in middle school, and high schoolers who enjoy sports.
