Look it's Miracle at the plate,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Miracle at the Plate (Matt Christopher Sports Classics) (Paperback)
Do you have problems with your fielding? Skeeter does. Everytime a fly ball comes his way he falls or miss judges were the ball is going to land. There is one thing that Skeeter is really, really good at! He can hit real well. In fact he is so great that he is the best hitter in his league. He almost always hits a home run or something else that is awesome. Matt Christopher calls this book Miracle At The Plate. If you are interested in sports books then read his books. They're outstanding! Once I picked up one of his books I couldn't put it down! The setting of this book is baseball field. Matt Christopher also writes sports books for girl's like volleyball. Many of Matt Christopher's books have won awards. Matt Christopher can think up of so many different characters. He has a different character for every book that he ever wrote! Matt Christopher seems to get the readers attention by always having an awesome title and a great review. For example in the story he tells how Skeeter is afraid to slide. This book shows people that you should not be scared to slide into home or any other base. People get scared because they think that they might get hurt. You know in every book there's a weak spot. The weak spot in this book is when Skeeter goes to his cousin's house because I think that it goes off topic a little. I think that after you read this book you're going to want to read another and another. Also you would then probably encourage your friends who like to watch baseball. Then they would encourage their friends and so and so on. I would recommend this book to any one who likes baseball. A strong point in this book is when they play baseball games because it is so exciting.

Good Book,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Miracle At The Plate (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (Matt Christopher Sports Classics) (School & Library Binding)
The book I read is called Miracle at the Plate.It's about a boy named Skeeter Miracle who can hit real well, having the best hitting average in the league.The only thing is he can't field and looks like a clown in the outfield. A second string player named Tommy gives it his best shot to steal Skeeter's spot. Tensions between the two get worse when Skeeter accidently injures Tommy's pet dog Pancho. Will Tommy steal Skeeter's spot?This book is a fun baseball book.I really enjoyed this book.

This review is from: Miracle at the Plate (Matt Christopher Sports Classics) (Paperback)
The copy we received is a very old copy with stiff pages and the cover is completely different. I thought I ordered the book that is pictured, which by the cover, would be more appealing to my son to read.
