A Parent's Thoughts on Scrappers #6 "No Easy Out"

My son was assigned to do a book report for school and chose "No Easy Out" by Dean Hughes. I wanted to help him with his report, so I read the book feeling that this would help me ask him the right questions later when he was writing his report.I liked the book. Mr. Hughes has made it easy to imagine yourself as Adam the main character. The book's style of writing lets the reader feel empathetic to Adam's plight of puting his team the Scrappers above, his friend and cousin, who plays for another team. Stan, Adam's cousin, is having trouble with his hitting and has asked Adam for help with batting practice.Aside from the main theme the book keeps the young readers attention with fast and exciting game action that works well with the message of the book, that helping your friends is Ok even if you are in competition with that friend. Being competitive when you play is part of the fun and being competitive with your friends is even more fun.
