       True Legend



The title of the book I read is True Legend. Mike Lupica wrote the book. It is about a boy named Drew who is from New York. Then he moves to California and is the best basketball player on his team. His team has to try to win their games to go to the championship. I really liked this book, it is one of my favorite book I have read.



This story is well organized and easy to understand. It talks about the things that happen in order, and it doesn't skip. There are a few surprises in the story, like when Drew sees an old man who plays basketball watching him all the time. Then he figures out who he is. The characters in the story are believable and realistic. Everything in the story could really happen. I can relate to the main character in the story, his name is Drew. I am like him because I try hard so I can get what I want. There is a satisfying ending in this story. The lesson learned in this book is you have to work hard to get what you want, you can't be lazy.



The age of the audience the book targets is for middle schoolers. The words in the story were not very easy, but they also were not difficult to read. I think that anyone who likes basketball will like this story. If you don't like basketball, then you probably won't like this story. It talks about basketball the whole time.



The author's voice is reserved in this book. He just tells the story. He just tells us what happens. There is not much emotion in this book. He tells the story in an informational way. Even though he didn't use much emotion, the story was still interesting.



This book was one of my favorites that I have read. If you are someone who likes basketball then you will like this book. If you don't like basketball then you probably wouldn't like it because it talks about basketball on every page of this book.
