Do the characters seem real and believable? Can you relate to their predicaments? To what extent do they remind you of yourself or someone you know?
The characters in this book seem very realistic. I think Lupica likes to put the characters in the book in real situations that may have related to him or situations that he witnessed with his friends. One of his characters are Danny Walker whose a 13 year old boy who loves to play basketball but he makes himself seem that he isn't going to grow any more. He wishes for a growth spurt but doesn't seem to get on any time soon. Hes going to be starting the 9th grade soon and the 9th graders are much more bigger then he is. I like this because many players today and kids now a days are very, very small. Some of the smallest players are the best players. Take Derek Roy for example he's 5'9and 188 pounds. Hes one of the sabres best players I think that the Buffalo Sabres had in a while. But just to think that someone at 5'9 playing in the NHL, that's not common.

Great connection, although Roy should be a man and shed the visor. And stop diving.
