I am reading the book "Plunked" and the author is Michael Northrop. The book so far after reading 14 chapters is about the main character Jack Mogens. Jack is in his final year in little league baseball which means more competition. Jack really wants to start in left field, and wants to start even more when he finds out he has a competition named Geoff. The little league team has had many practices and enough to finally finds out who is starting for their first game. That is when Jack finds out him and his friend Andy who plays a different position of second base are both starting for the first game of the season.
I decided to read this book for three different reasons. The first reason is because it is about my favorite sport baseball, two because I once had to fight for my position in little league, and three because of the genre. The genre of this book is realistic fiction. I know this because even though this story is not real or based on a true story, these events can still happen to any kid on any team. I like this genre because usually when I read a realistic fiction story it is connected to something similar to what I do like sports and then I can learn a lesson from the story. I have read this genre before and I do plan on reading another realistic fiction book.
