Heat is an incredible book with some of the best suspense I’ve ever seen. If you like baseball and suspense, you will love this story about Michael Arroyo’s tough life.
This book is realistic fiction because everything that takes place in this story can happen in real life. Michael Arroyo, who is from New York, wants to be a normal kid and play his favorite sport – baseball. Official people are asking Michael and his older brother Carlos questions about their dead father, so they lie and do many things in order to keep the two of them together. I loved the part when Michael discovered Ellie was El Grande, the star of the Yankees, daughter.
The strength of this book is that it is constantly suspenseful because it keeps you wondering what’s going to happen next. A weakness is the book doesn’t really describe the characters quickly. For example, Michael’s friend Manny doesn’t really get described until the middle.
This is definitely a phenomenal book. It is absolutely one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. Yes, I completely recommend this book from 3rd grade to 7th grade, because it seems like it would be too long and difficult vocabulary for 2nd graders. I think an 8th grader would be reading some harder books than this. I have to say, this book definitely deserves five out of five stars.
