Double Play At Short

I think the book Double Play At Short was a very good book. Matt Christopher is the author of this book, he writes many sports books. This was a book I couldn't put down because I was curious of what was going to happen next.The characters were just like people I know. They acted the same way and had the same hobbies. This book is about a kid named Danny. He makes it to the championship series of his baseball league when he gets very mysterious of someone on the other team. He takes pictures of her and does a lot more to figure out who she is. If you read this book, you will find out what happens next. I think this book would be a very good book for any ages to read, whether it's an adult or kid. That's how much I think other people would enjoy this boook as much as I did.

Double Play at Short Review

I really enjoyed reading this great book!!This book is about a boy named Danny. Danny plays baseball for the Bullets and they are in the Championship Series against the Jaguars. Danny is the short-stop for the Bullets. When they get to the first game Danny noticed the Jaguars short-stop. Danny notices that Tammy the Jaguars short-stop plays exactly like him. Then on his birthday they had a game and after the game the Jaguars started to sing Happy Birthday to Tammy. After this Danny started to wonder about this Tammy girl. So Danny went to the library to do a search on her and to see if he could find anything on her. Then during the games Danny can't focus on the game but only Tammy. Before this whole series started he thought he was a shoe-in for the All-Star game, but yet after the first game he thought that Tammy would beat him. Danny tells his mom about his concerns and being related to Tammy. READ THIS BOOK TO FIND OUT IF DANNY AND TAMMY ARE REALTED SOMEHOW!!! If you really want to know I think you should read this book.I would recommend this book to people who like mysteries, sports, baseball, and enjoy reading. Also this is a very exciting book.

His mom tells him that she is his twin and his mom died at birth. The boy's team faces his sister in the championship. His sister knows that they are twins and they both play ther best and he and his sister have a geat time after the game.

Double Play at Short

This book is funny, heart breaking, and depressing. Young Danny is playing in a world series with his twin sister. He doesn't know that she's his sister yet. I give it 5 stars. It's the best book ever besides Harry Potter.
