Samurai Shortstop by Alan Gratz


Book Recommended by Rebecca B.

The book, Samurai Shortstop, was written by a man named Alan Gratz. His writing style and plot are amazing! Everything is connected. Everything has significance. Even the smallest comments are mentioned later on. Everything being weaved together like one weaves a basket, enriched this book.

The book balances action with humor. Though a few fight scenes are present, the book keeps and enjoyable fast pace. The believable tension between Toyo and his father, Sotaro, and the interaction with Toyo and the other students added an emotional element to the book. The interaction between Toyo and the other characters were one of the best parts of the book!

Samurai Shortstop by Alan Gratz is the best book ever. I adore the writing style. I love the characterizations. The plot was amazing. I recommend Samurai Shortstop to everyone who is a preteen and older. Burning besudoru! (In order to understand that phrase, you’ll have to read the book!)
