Batboy is a book about a 14-year-old kid, Brian who is a huge fan of the Detroit Tigers Baseball team. He sends a letter to them asking to be the batboy. They accept! He soon spends every day shining shoes collecting broken bats and constantly trying to get his favorite athlete Hank Bishop a great athlete who was suspended twice from baseball for taking steroids.
Soon Brian Starts to think that Hank is trying to work him breaking bats every day rubbing his shoes in dirt and worst of all falling in love with Brains mom: Taking her time away from him.
I would recommend this book to kids ages 8-14 mostly boys who like baseball and realistic fiction I would recommend most mike Lupica books if you like this great book.
