Kick

Read Monster by Myers and thought I would give Kick a shot. It was a very easy read suitable for youth as young as 8 or 9. A good book to encourage a young boy, something he might actually enjoy reading. I would definitely recommend it to a young male audience. Great gift for nephews or grandsons though it cold be enjoyed by just about anyone.

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!

A fan of Walter Dean Myers happy to share his writing with other young people to enjoy. Hope this will be a new beginning for young readers.

This book has a nice ending and I liked how they combined sports with a little mystery! It is womderful
