FOOTBALL HERO

Dear class,

The book I am reading is Football Hero by Tim Green. The book is about a boy named Ty and he lives with his Aunt and Uncle. When he was getting on the bus to get home from school the coach asks him to go to the spring practice for football. He goes and is the fastest there. When he gets home he gets a job from his Dad's cleaning company. Ty goes to his first job and he hates it he has to clean ALL this disgusting stuff in the bathrooms! When he is taking a break his big brother Thane (a.k.a Tiger) calls. Tiger is a really good receiver for the Syracuse University. Tiger asks if Ty wants to come to the NFL draft with him Ty would love too. A couple days later Ty goes to the spring football scrimmage for his school. He catches a 50 yard TD pass! He was really happy. When he gets home he gets ready for Tiger to come and get him!!! When Tiger comes, Ty gets into the huge limo and drives to New York City. They go to a restaurant where they meet Tigers agent. They had a nice, fancy dinner. When Ty and Tiger get to their hotel, Ty gets into the hot tub and relaxes. He goes to bed and when he wakes up he has to get ready for the draft. When they get there, Tiger signs a lot of autographs then they go into the building where there is SO many football fans. When they announce the third pick of the first round from the NY Jets the pick was... Tiger!!!! Everybody was cheering. When Ty gets home he gives his cousin the ipod Ty got when he was there. A few days later the family goes to dinner to see Tiger sign the 7.5 million dollor contract! That is how for I am so far.

I wonder why Ty's Uncle is always so mean to Ty and why he likes to get drunk a lot? I think Ty should live with Tiger because they get a long VERY well. I think Uncle Gus and Tiger will get in a fight about who will keep Ty.

Sincerly,

RJM
