Kick

Walter Dean Myers, the first author to receive the YA lit lifetime achievement award, probably understands teens better than most parenting experts. Kick also shows his understanding of the workings of the teen brain. The 13 year old protagonist is just trying to help a friend and keep a promise. His good intentions have him headed to court and possibly J.D.H. The voice of Kevin is written by a high school student who became friends with Myers via fan e-mails. Both writers created a sweet story with no bad guys, well intentioned yet flawed adults and lots of great soccer action. I hope Sergeant Brown shows up in future Myers novels mentoring other youths headed down a destructive path. Its short length makes Kick a good choice for reluctant readers.

Teenagers of any age that enjoy soccer will love this book. This is about a teen that makes one bad decision that could possibly change his life and it did!

The book was a quick read because it was so interesting I couldn't put it down! It was explained very thoroughly .

OK READ BUT EVERY INDIVIDUAL HAS TO COME TO THEIR OWN CONCLUSSIONS DO RESEARCH BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD TO SEE IF ITS FOR YOU

My 11 yo loved this book. Walter Dean Myers has become her favorite author.
