I liked the biography that I read because I learned that he has turned into one of the most homerun hitters of all time. This book has some interesting facts about his life I was especially surprised to learn that when he was seven he wanted to help his mother inside the house instead of playing with his brothers and sisters.
I would highly recommend it to people who like to read about other people and sport books. I loved this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This great book on Sammy Sosa is superior in every way to most of the "cash-in" paperbacks written on baseball superstars. Well-written, engaging and full of information, Sosa may not be baseball's Superman, but he is an interesting guy profiled in this interesting book. A Kid's Review 1.
This book is terrible. He is 1 of the worst players in the MLB!!!!! This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Jul 23, Jess Farrar rated it liked it Recommends it for: I have to admit--I liked this. I can now see that the Matt Christopher books can be a great way to get reluctant readers into reading. The book is well-written, full of suspense, and it includes insightful details. And, this is a biography! Most kids would cringe at that word, but I think they'd feel otherwise about Matt Christopher biographies. I did feel the beginning of the book stressed Sammy Sosa's impoverished background a bit too much.
It also talks about the baseball records that Sosa tried to break, like hitting the most homeruns in a single season. In the Huddle with She was immediately interested and told me that they needed sports stories badly. Would you like to tell us about a lower price? On the Ice with Mario Lemieux Christopher. Sammy Sosa , please sign up.
Sosa is from a poor family, and as illustrated in the I have to admit--I liked this. Sosa is from a poor family, and as illustrated in the book, his hard work ethic and personal dedication stems from his modest beginnings. But, I felt it was a little too much of the "feel sorry for this poor kid" attitude. I'd be interested to look over some of Matt Christopher's fiction titles.
I looked up Matt Christopher's website and found a lot of useful information. For one, many teachers and parents sent in stories of their children, may reluctant readers, becoming totally engrossed in a Matt Christopher story.
