I am reading a book called Change-Up, by John Feinstein. Two kid reporters, Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol Andersonare two kid reporters reporting at the World Series (Nationals v. Red Sox). Pitcher for the Nationals, Norbert Doyle, who is 39 (very old for baseball), is a nice guy, has two kids (wife died), has been traded around alot, been all throughout the minors, has finally gotten a chance. Originally he was not expected to make the playoff roster but a couple of the Nationals pitchers got injured. He pitches Game 2 and throws 8+ innings givving up one hit and no runs. Apparently he still isn't happy. I am going to continue reading to find out what happens after I finish my blog.
This is a good book because things that are so unexpected happen. For example, when the catcher, who is closest to Doyle, says "Joy isn't his thing", Stevie decides to investigate. Another example is that Susan Carol finds out what is going on, but she won't tell Stevie. This is unexpected because Stevie and Susan are friends, and usually don't keep things from each other.
So far, this is a very good book full of mystery so far, and I would recommend reading it, so far. p.s. I also commented on Noah Fluaharty's blog.
