I am a 5th grade student at Waldron Mercy Academy(FSJ). Kyle was an amazing baseball player. He always told the truth until...Kyle just wanted to win so bad against this one team called "The Cubs" that he made a fake catch. He thought no one saw him,but he wasn't a hundred percent sure if you asked me. Anyway back to telling the story. Everyone believed him,his dad(who was really proud of him),his mom, gradmother(who kneweverything about baseball and was practically in love with it), his whole team and coach, everyone who saw him, and his best friends Nate and Claire. What will Kyle do if the person who saw him tells that he made a fake catch?

Have you ever been accused for cheating? We'll Kyle Holt has, the Reds center fielder, When he caught the winning catch to beat the Cubs. Even though Kyle didn't catch the winning ball the ump didn't know so he called it good. So then after the game a kid called him and said" If the Cubs don't win the championship, your secret wouldn't be a secret." Now if you are starting to get into this one and only sport fiction book you should read it. This book is full with interesting things, exciting things and wonderful things too. So I would definitely recommend this book to other kids. Sammy
