Finding Buck Mchenery (final review)

I read the book Finding Buck Mchenery. I thought it was a very entertaining book because the whole book revolved around baseball. The book talked about the old Negro leagues and the struggles they had to go through. It was really cool because it mentioned some people who played in the Negro Leagues and I have heard some of the names before. The book first started off with the main character Jason who got cut from his little league team. Some other kids around the league have as well. So they needed to start an expansion team and Jason was going to be captain of the new team. While Jason was trying to get the Grandstand card store to sponsor the team he came across a card that said Buck Mchenry and he thought it was Mack Henry the school custodian. Since he recognizes this he wanted him to be the coach and his grandson to be the pitcher who was the best player in the whole league. While Jason called everyone to play on the team no one wanted too until sports reporter mentioned the team and the coach on the air when everyone wanted to play. Find out how the team does and finding the discovery of Buck Mchenry.

I choose this book because it was about baseball and looked really interesting. At first I didn’t want to read at all but then I got hooked and couldn’t stop reading. It was a very entertaining book because the author keeps giving twist in the book and I was curious to get to the end to see how the Grandstand team did. What I didn’t like is it kind of repeats itself a little about the description of the Negro leagues. I thought the book was pretty realistic but had some cartoon stuff in it. I would encourage anyone to read this who has an interest in sports.
