The book Heat is about a 12-year-old boy named Michael Arroyo. Michael is a great baseball player with an amazing right arm. He is very tall and skinny. Michael was born in Cuba where his dad who he and his older brother Carlos called Big Papi found a way to get them to the U.S.A. Michael lives in the Bronx of New York and is on the South Bronx All Star Team. He is the best pitcher for his age anyone has seen, being able to through in the high 70's.
This story takes place in the Bronx of New York. Most the story takes place at Macombs Dam Park. Here at Macomb's, there are two fields which are the Babe Ruth league fields and the little league fields which Michael played on. Over to the side you can see the basketball courts to the. You could here the roar of the train tracks overhead, and practically feel the breeze. Michael and his friends would go to their fields to play pickup games sometimes if they had enough players.
ยท Mrs. Cora, a neighbor in their apartment, was walking down the street with her very expensive looking purse. She was looking and wondering why most all the sport stores on River Avenue had the name Stan in them. She had just put $100 in her purse when suddenly a thief named Ramon ran

Heat is one of the most enjoyable, interesting books I've ever read. Michael, a typical boy with a great right arm is the main character. He lives with his brother Carlos. His dad is supposedly caring for a sick relitive in Florida. Michael faces hardships and problems, but keeps himself going with friends and Carlos.
Baseball helps Michael with his life problems as well. It makes him feel ike all of his problems can disappear. But things in Michael's life aren't always so picture-perfect.
One boy in Michaels baseball league thinks Michael is too old for little league baseball. He is jealous of Michael because is right arm is so powerful. He and his father(the coach of his son's little league team) demand a birth certificate for Michael's ability to play. Michael was born in Cuba so he has a very hard time trying to find his birth certificate.
Michael has a best friend named Manny. I think he is te perfect so called "side-kick" for Michael. He is funny and keeps Michael's spirit up through out the book. Over all I give Heat five stars!

The book Heat by Mike Lupica is about baseball. Michael is a kid and a star pitcher for his little league team. When his brother gets arrested for trying to break into Yankee Stadium and his dad dies in Florida, his family, his friends, and his baseball falls apart.
This book is really good because it gets into the details of baseball. It is also about problems like his friend Ellie losing his friendship with Michael because he was frustrated with everything that his mouth let out things that he didn't mean. Anybody who likes baseball, no matter how old, will like this book. Those who don't like baseball will still like the conflict in this book.
