[2015] Nicholas Fernandez: The Batboy

The BatboyBy:Mike Lupica 

Summary

Theme

The theme for the Batboy is to never give up on your dreams. I know this because dreams do come true. For example Brian wrote a letter to the Tigers' coach asking to be the batboy for them, but he said no because Brian was too young. Then Brian tried again and the coach changed his mind and said yes he could be the batboy becuase the coach needs more people like Brian that shows passion for the game. That shows that Brian's dreams do come true

Characters

The charactors for the Batboy book was Brian Dudley, the batboy for the Tigers and is a very nice kid. Hank Bishop was third basemen for the Tigers and likes Liz Dudley. Liz is Brian's mom and is very independent.

The setting for this book is in Comerica park, and at Rolay Oak baseball park.

I would recommend this book because it is a very interesting and you don't know what would happen next. Also, it shows you to never give up even when it doesn't go your way.
