I only recommend this book to those who like reading about wars or reading about journals.when i picked this book i thought it was going to be another boring old book but it wasn't I just wanted to keep on reading this book, just to see what would happen to scott and all of the people in the war. In this book Scott tells of all his troubles while he is serving in the war. This book has some sad parts that make you want to cry and some happy parts that make you feal happy that he is alive.

A SOLDIER'S STORY

The journal of Scott pendleton Collins,is about a World WarII solider that goes to Normandy, France in 1944.The book begins with "He could see Omah Beach through the smoke and haze as his assult boat rocked in the choppy waters".I'm only 10 and I liked this book because it is about a real person in a real war and I like to read war stories.People should read this story because it is about history. The main character is Scott.The action parts in this book are the war parts and the scarry parts.

Although he does not get to play much, the experience for Biddy is amazing. Biddy encounters much prejudice during the season, and even some games are segregated! He also gets to play alongside some of the world's greatest players, including one who would be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Willie Mays! Find out all about Biddy Owens and his trip to the Negroe Leagues World Series in this awesome book!

Ecellent Edtion To My Name Is America Series!!!!!!!!!

Biddy Owens is a teenager when he learns what it means to be the greatest American team, and be African-American, He travels with the team from New Orleans to Chicago, and the hatred and rasicm they face on the way, and when biddy wants to go pro, his family say no, they go against the idea, because it involes so much danger for him, all I have to say, is that it was a great edtion to My Name Is America Series,this book shows the hopes and dream that a little boy would not give up,simply because of his race.

A good My Name is America book.

Scott is a seventeen-year-old from Roanoke, Virginia. He is fighting in World War II, in Normandy, France. In his journal he records his experiances. This book was very well written and portrayed the horrors of battle.
