its pretty good

this book called rudy by james ellison is about a young man named rudy whose favorite football team is the fighting irish. he would really love to play for them. one problem is that he doesnt go to Notre Dame or even go to college.when rudy gets into Notre Dame and people find out that he wants to play football they made fun of him because he was small.in coolege he finds a girl that he falls in love with.after a couple of tryouts rudy finds out he doesnt make the team. he asks the coach why he didnt make it. when he finally does make the team he works harder than anybody else even though he doesnt play.when he is on the team and doesnt make it one week all the players take their jerseys to the coach and tells him that rudy can have his spot. this showed the coach that the players have respect for rudy. so the coach gives a spot on the team for the last game of the season. inorder to find out the rest you will have to read the book.that is why i would give this book 4 stars and say that it is pretty good

You Gotta Read This

Rudy- A book about a young boy that lives in a coal minning neighborhood. His favorite football team is the Noter Dame Fighting Irish. He really would like to go and play football for the Irish but everyone says he can't. You only know how it will end up. If you have seen the movie "Rudy" you may think that you know what the book is about, but the book has many different qualities in it that the movie dosn't have in it. I would still recommend reading this book about a boy who kept getting put down that proved to everyone he could do it.
