[|Discussion Page] __The Kid Who Only Hit Homers__  By: Matt Christopher Nominated By:Grady Cook (The genre is Realistic Fiction)

I’m going to tell you about the book  __The Kid WhoOnly Hit Homers.__  First I’m going to summarize the book. It is about a boy named Sylvester who loved baseball. The thing is he stunk at hitting so he got thrown off the team. Then a guy comes to town named George Baruth, which sounds like Babe Ruth and Babe Ruth’s real first name is George. When Sylvester meets him, Sylvester turns into the best hitter ever. He hits homers every time he’s up to bat. Then at a game,in which Sylvester hit a homer every time he was up, Sylvester wanted his friend Snooky to meet George. When Sylvester said “Meet my new friend,” to Snooky. Snooky said ,  “Where is he!” Sylvester said “he’s right there,” pointing at George. “You’re crazy,” said Snooky and walked away. All Sylvester wanted was for Snooky to meet George. The thing that’s getting in the way is George keeps disappearing. So to solve that problem Sylvester tries to get George to show himself. Does it work? Read the book to find out. I nominated this book for two reasons. First, I love sports, and even if people don’t like sports and they read the book, they’ll still love the book. And last but not least I chose this book because it’s a mystery. Is George a ghost, or did he just run away? I guarantee you’ll love the book!!!!!!!!!!!
