Student Reviews
This book looks like it’s really long but it’s really not. It is written like a poem so there aren't a lot of words on each page. If you like sports, this is definitely the book for you. It is very touching and it’s about basketball so I really liked it.
This story is about a kid named Charlie who changes a lot throughout the story. I gave this 4 stars because I love the sport basketball and this book kind of explains my life except for the deaths.
