The Underdogs, by Mike Lupica


           


 Reviewed By: Vasken K.


  The 30…the 20…the 10…touchdown! Will scores another touchdown for the Bulldogs. In the book The Underdogs, Will Tyler is a young running back for the Bulldogs, and the son of Joe Tyler, one of the greatest running backs Will’s town has ever had. The setting of the book takes place in Forbes, Pittsburgh. The conflict in the book is that Will’s team has to try to win a football championship with only 12 players on the whole team. This book reminds me of when I am on the football field, and my team and I are trying to win a game. It also reminds me of my team name, which is also called the Bulldogs. I think that the main theme the book teaches me is that you should never give up, no matter what or who is the challenge, either by yourself, or with a certain amount of people in any situation. I recommend this book for any age group because it is a great read, and a great football story about Underdogs.

  1. I haven't read this book yet but it sounds interesting and I'm wondering if Will will be able to win the game with his team and have victory. I would like to read this book but it's not i type of book for me. This book isn't at all like my book i reviewed but it's still a good book. isn't there suppose to be more people on an football team rather than just 12 people that's not enough i think. your review makes me wonder about this.
