One of my favorite novels that I have read this year is a novel by none other than the famous sportswriter, Mike Lupica. I have read many novels by Mike Lupica in the past, but his one really stood out to me. This novel is called The Batboy by of course, Mike Lupica. This novel is about a boy named Brian Dudley who gets a job as one of the batboys for his hometown baseball team, the Detroit Tigers. Brian sends a convincing letter to the CEO of the Detroit Tigers baseball club, and despite being only fourteen years old, the CEO accepts Brian’s request and allows Brian to become one of the batboys for the Detroit Tigers. Brian ends up encountering many challenges along the way, and he finds many ways to get through these challenges. I would highly recommend this novel to fans of the Sports Fiction genre. This novel was a personal favorite of mine, and I hope that my fellow students will enjoy this novel if they ever decide to read it in the future.
