Heated Situation The story is about a boy Michael who is an orphan who can pitch the ball very fast. His brother is his only family member. His brother’s name is Carlos. When his parents died trying to get them from Cuba to the U.S. Carlos and Michael got sent to the orphanage. But when they got there they got separated although they tried to stay together. But because of Michaels pitching ability everyone was going to use him for money and fame. They were going to adopt him for their own needs. The main characters were Carlos and Michael. The characters were very believable. Although it wasn’t true I would think it was if I didn’t know. In the story Michael try’s to find his brother and get a normal family in the book. He doesn’t want a family that is just going to use him. But the problem was that everyone wanted him because of his ability of pitching. My favorite character was Michael because he shows how much bad luck someone could get but still live through it. He proves that you need to do hard work to get want you want. I can relate to Carlos because just like him my brother is a good baseball player also. But even if he is really good doesn’t bother me. That is because just like them we don’t forget about each other. Just because he is better than him in baseball doesn’t mean he is better at everything else. That is because just like them how they lost their parents, I lost someone that I love also. Her name was Noelle and she was my cousin’s dog. I know it’s not the same thing. But I loved her just as much as they loved their parents. But when she passed away I felt very sad for a while. That is how I compare to them. I liked the book a lot because I love baseball and it’s a sad and happy book. It showed that bad things could happen to anyone. My favorite part of the book was when Michal could have gotten adopted but would only go if they took his brother. He did what ever it took to stay with his brother. He didn’t care that it got him in just more trouble. If I could change one thing I wouldn’t change anything because I thought the book was all around great. I would recommend this book to all baseball fans. I believe that everyone who likes baseball would love this book. It has a lot about baseball but it also has things about family.
