Book Review: A Book Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Tough to Tackle by Matt Christopher is a story about Boots Raymond, a right tackle who wants to be quarterback for the Apollos, but can't because he's over the weight limit. Boots' coach, Coach Higgins, put Boots' friend, Bud Davis, at quarterback, Boots get put on the line. Boots finds out that the line is actually fun.
The story begins on a windy day in September, with Boots Raymond on his front porch. Boots' friend, Bud Davis, is saying, "Are you coming?" Boots smiled, and darted down the steps of his front porch.
My favorite part of the book was when Boots jolted through through the offensive line. He sacked the quarterback, and the ball came loose. When he picked it up, he started to run. A halfback came up and Boots stiff armed him. Boots kept running and scored a touchdown.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes football. It's a great book because it's exciting and shows you how to like football. Ten to eleven is a good age for this book. This book is not to difficult to read.
Summary of Tough to Tackle (Matt Christopher Sports Classics)
No one trusts a quitter... More than anything Boots Raymond wants to be a quarterback for the Apollos. But because of his size, the coach assigns him to a tackle position-and there's no arguing with the coach. Boots rebels and almost quits the team. It seems that nothing can change his mind, but his brother Tom intercepts and teaches Boots something valuable he learned from playing football and being a soldier.Self-Esteem & Self-Respect Books
