Tough to Tackle (Matt Christopher Sports Classics)

This is an excellent book to read. I loved this book!!! I suggest that kids who like football should read this book. Litearly,I read this book in 2 days.

Boots Raymond is a boy that want to play quarterback for his team - there's just one problem - the coach says he's too heavy to play that position. The coach assigns him to right tackle. His brother, Tom, is actually the one that encourages him to play football because he wants to quit. His brother explains that it's good to play the line because you help the quarterback make the plays. I like this book because it's very exciting, and I understand how it feels to play a position that you don't like. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves sports or who plays tackle football!

Tough to Tackle is about a boy named Boots Raymond and his season playing football with the Apollos. In the beginning of the book, Boots tries out for the football team. He wants to be the quarterback, but the coach has a weight limit for each position. He's too heavy to play quarterback so the coach makes him a tackle. Boots doesn't like playing tackle and wants to quit the team. Boots receives a letter from his brother who convinces Boots not to quit. Boots listens to his brother, stays on the team, and has fun as his team wins the division. I recommend this book and give it 5 stars! 5th grader, Michael Zoellner, Nazareth School
