OR Winter Break #3
In the final chapter I read over winter break the boys arrive in Tampa, Florida where their tournament is being hosted. But first they all needed to check into their hotel room a the AmericInn before they could go exploring before their game tomorrow. All of them had to room with one other guy, some had to go 3 to a room because of the tournament and all the scouts and what not at the event. So all the boys check in and grab some free food from the little buffet area and head down the street walking to the stadium because they definitely dont have the type of money to be spending on 10 cab trips when you can walk there in 15 minutes. Walking into the stadium they see everything from food vendors to merchandise vendors to scouting tents. Some scouts notice the team walking around and talks with a couple of the older players. Everybody knows that when a scout is around you have to be on your best game because one mistake would move you right down the totem poll. This chapter ends with the boys walking home in the dark down a little highway making them a little nervous, but they eventually get home and all go to bed for the big game tomorrow.

It sounds like this book is right up your alley, Drew. Suspenseful, as well, because like you stated, one little mistake could cost you your spot!

Drew,
Ive heard this book is really awesome. I really love sports books especially baseball ones. Have you ever read the Kid From Tomkinsville? It seems sort of similar. But I think I might try to read this next quarter.

I like the sound of this book. I'm reading a sports book as well for my outside reading. Blades Of Glory, it's a cool hockey book; you'd like it.
Yo Drew!
What is this book called? and what sport are these guys playing? Very true on how you have to be on your game when scouts are around! Sounds like a very sport filled, exciting book!
Hey Drew,
I have heard many great things about this book. I can see how this book relates to you because you play many of sports and I think I would like this book as well because I love reading about sports. I will have to try to read this book soon!
