Challenge at Second Base

By Matt Christopher

Book Overview

CHALLENGE AT SECOND BASE Stan Martin's chances of playing second base seem next to zero at the start of the season. His rival for the position, Gary Newman, looks tough to beat. Stan loves baseball-maybe even more than his brother, Phil, who played pro ball until quitting suddenly the year before-but after experiencing a few setbacks, Stan is tempted to quit too. Then Stan receives a mysterious note telling him to stick it out-and soon Stan finds himself face-to-face with the challenge at second base.

The Best Book EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like "challenge at second base" becasue its action, its suspensful, its a book that when you read a page you cant wait to turn the other. I like this book because it's about baseball and baseball is my life. It is about this kid Stan wanting to play second base but Gary Newman wants to also. At first the raiders start of the season with a win and Gary Newman started the game at second base but when they got more in the season Stan became really good even better then Gary and the coach had put him to start in the final game of the season also in the championship that they accomplished to get to. They are both good so this book keeps you in suspense. I also like this book because its a book that you dont want to stop reading and you want to know what happends but you will have to wait to find out. I love this book and theres no reason for you not to love it too!

Great for children

I read these books when I was in fifth and sixth grade. They are all kind of formulaic and predictable to anyone 13 years of age and older but they are great for younger children. I recommend these books for child that you want to start reading more. They are easy reads and teach great lessons like team work, accepting differences in people and sportsmanship. They can really boost a child's confidence.
