| Kyle Holt is
12 years old and loves baseball. He plays outfielder on the
Reds team. The winner of the game between the Reds and the Cubs will
be in first place and headed for the championship.
The score is 3-3 when Kyle
sees the ball about to go over the fence. He jumps over the
fence with the ball in his glove, but the ball falls onto the
ground. Kyle wants to win so much that he quickly places
the ball back into his glove and pretends that he caught it. The
Reds won 4-3 and Kyle is the hero.
It felt good to be the
hero and to get all the attention. A story about his great
catch is even in the newspapers. Everything feels right, but

strong message about cheating and lying. Boy or girl, this is
a good book. |
