Night Hoops Josh Miller

Night Hoops by Carl Deuker

Nick Abbot was a kid that had a difficult life. Nicks, parents got divorced and it made things a lot harder for him. He got bullied by the same two kids, Trent and Zack. He got sick and tired of it, but the only thing he can do is play basketball. He plays basketball, so he can get things off his mind and take his anger out. Playing basketball all the time got him better and stronger. Now he's on the basketball team.

When I was reading this book, It made me think of my self. My mom and dad were divorced and I got bullied when I was younger. I did similar things Nick did, when I was angry and needed to take all my anger out. I went out and played sports. But all in the end, I felt like Nick, much happier and calmer than I did before. To me when you do things that you like, it makes you a different person, in a good way and you forget the bad things and that makes me connect how Nick felt.

I think this book is a really good book for kids in middle school and high school. This book can make you have a really good connection with Nick and what happen in his life. This book is a non fiction book, mabey people like real stories than fake. This story is based on a real story, wich means this could have all happened.

Readers:
How do you think nick can face his problems other than sports?
Have your parents ever been divorced? How did you handle the problem?
