The book ''Game'' by Walter Dean Myers is about a basketball team at a high school in Harlem, New York. The Chargers have always been good and they get better every year. The Chargers top player, Drew, is the main character and the team considers him the team captain. The Chargers have gone undefeated in the first half of their season and are hoping to do the same in the second half. As the second half begins two new players join the team. One is named Colin and the other is Tomas, who is from Czechoslovakia. I am enjoying the book, especially the details about Czechoslovakia.  Reading about how people live in different countries makes me realize how lucky I am.

In my book Double Play By Robert B. Parker there is one person named Louis that is a good person but does bad things because of many reasons. One of the reasons is that he is an alcoholic and drinks a lot. Also his dad is a mobster and is always getting Louis stuff that he doesn't need so he is always showing off. He tries to get people to kill people Louis doesn't like.

In the book Double Play by Robert B. Parker it talks about a guy that becomes a bodyguard for Jackie Robinson. He has to stay in all of the same hotels and eat at the same restaurants. Everything was segregated back when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. The bodyguard gets dirty looks everywhere he goes when he is with Jackie. So far it is a very good book and very interesting, I would recommend this book to anyone.
