True Legend

A high school teen at Oakley Academy, is trying to make it big with basketball. Drew Robinson in the book True Lengend written by Mike Lupica. Mike is known for writing basketball books. This book takes you through a real athlete’s life. Mike doesn’t talk about why he wrote this book. Lupica has written many other #1 books. This book is revolving around basketball.

The story is about a young man who is learning how to become a basketball legend. Many people try to get into his way and try to stop him. Drew meets this girl who he is in love with. The rest your just going to have to read. Drew is always at this court named Morrison. Cops are always roaming around. They know who Drew is and is a really big fan of his. There are coaches and friends whoa are always helping him become better.

In my opinion reading this book wouldn’t waist your time. Reading and trying to understand how this junior in high school is being comapred to LeBron James and Kobe Bryant is just amazing. Drew is a perfect example of a kid who never gives up. It’s a phenonmenal book. The beginning caught my eye. Just read the book and you would be amazed at a young man that came from nothing to everything. In words its too hard to exlplain how fantastic this book is. Its not a waist of time, it will just show you that a young african american man can play basketball and everything that gets in his way wont stop him. His journey is long and his keeping his head up, reading the book will show you how much I loved the book.
