the Fox Steals home

The Fox Steals Home is a very good book. The setting is present and is usually at the baseball feild or Bobby's house. The conflict is that Bobby can not get use to his parents divorce. He does not want them to split up. First they are at the baseball feild and when Bobby steps up to bat all his mind is on is his parents divorce so he strikes out. Then they are at his house as a family talking about the divorce and Bobby gets mad. But on the last game Bobby and his father have a talk and they make each other feel better. I think this book is very good because it talks about not to worry about the divorce there will be a bright side in the end.

The Fox Is On The Track

The Fox Steals Home is a really good book because it made me have good feelings about the relationship between the boy and his dad. The parents are divorced, and Billy is trying to be with both his mom and his dad. Being divorced is really hard because you don't get to see your parents all the time.

The Fox Steals Home

If you are into exciting sports stories, then this is the bookfor you. One exciting scene is when he practices stealing bases withhis father and grandfather. There are these two long-haired boys cheering him on and calling him Fox. During the last game it is thrilling because his father and grandfather are in the stands so he messes up a little during the game because he is trying to show them how much he has learned. So when he finally gets on base he shows his dad and grandfather what he can do. So if this is the type of story for you, then The Fox Steals Home is for you.
