    " I thought the writing was a little confusing because the author used phrases from many different sports to describe the actions in the story. The characters played soccer and basketball, but then he threw in terminology from baseball, football, and tennis as well. But the story was good, and realistic enough, if a tad bit too optimistic.

    " Boys will likely relate to the main character Pedro and his feelings of inadequacy when comparing himself to his friend Ned . Ned is "perfect" at everything and Pedro has an uphill battle both on and off the basketball court when he decides to run against him for class president. "
