Return of the homerun kid

This book is about a person named Sylvester Coddmyer3. He is a different kind of baseball player. He is one of the best players. He can hit many homeruns. He is one of the people who is popular and is on the starting lineup. After all that, his meat a mysterious ex-ballplayer named Cheeko. However, there is something that weird about Cheeko. Cheeko is not the right person you think. He is a liar who is not what he says he is.

Catherine Christopher illustrates this book. This also an old book that is good. My favorite part was when he knocks the ball out of the park and just celebrates in his joy. The team the kid is on is the Redbirds. I love this book. This book was short. I encourage all readers to read this book.
