How do you lie about your dad's death? Michael and Carlos did. Michael is 12 while his brother Carlos is 17. With their dad dead Carlos has to try to make a living for both of them. Michael loves baseball like his friend Manny. Late in the baseball season a hot shot boy call Michael out and says he is 14 because of how tall and how fast he throws a baseball. Later he needs to get a birth certificate so he can play, but his birth certificate is back in Hispana were he used to live. Another trouble his family is facing is a child services guy wants to meet their father. Manny hires his uncle Timo to pretend he is their father (Timo is an actor). Will they fool him? I gave the book a ten out of ten for the amazing originality of the problems. This is a sports book for sports fans from the ages 11-15. The book shows how lying goes deeper and deeper until someone is bound to find out. There is but one controversial part in the book. Will Carlos and Michael get caught?

I loved "Heat" because of all the great things it had inside of it. Heat is about a 12 year old baseball player named Michael Arroyo who lives in New York City. He is a very good pitcher in the city league. The main theme of the story is that he is too good for his league. The coaches in his league wonder if he is older than the rest of the league. Once this problem comes upon Michael, he has is asked to show the league his birth certificate so they can make sure he is the same age as everyone else. But problems fall like rain on Michael and he cannot give them the certificate because he has lost both of his parents and only has his brother for his family. Michael has to get all the help he can to get past the coaches who are so curious. Michael cannot live without baseball so he will try anything and everything to get it back.
Heat is a book for ages 10 and up. Heat is a fun book that all sports fans will adore. Heat has thrills!

What if you were so good at baseball that people did not believe you were the age you say you are? Then what would happen if you had no way to prove your age? This happens to Michael Arroyo in Mike Lupica's realistic fiction novel titled Heat.
Heat tells the story of a twelve-year-old boy named Michael Arroyo. He is such a good pitcher that many coaches demand he produce a birth certificate to prove he is twelve. But the birth certificate is stuck back home in Cuba and Michael has no way of getting it. He has no mother, no father, and only a brother named Carlos.
Heat is the best book I would recommend for those who like baseball. I have found myself hoping Michael can get a birth certificate so he can play baseball again. He has a big love for baseball and it crushes his heart that he can't play baseball. As if Michael wasn't having enough troubles, but now social services are getting suspicious that Michael and his brother Carlos are living without an adult. They could separate the two brothers. Heat is the book that will keep your attention until the end.

Michael Arroyo is a twelve-year-old kid who lives in Bronx, New York. Michael's father has died recently, so he lives with his seventeen-year-old brother (Carlos). While Carlos works to raise money to put food on the table, Michael plays baseball for a local Little League team as a pitcher who throws Heat. When some of the coaches in the league get suspicious and think Michael is too old for their age group, they force him to present a birth certificate. When Michael can't produce a legal birth certificate, they tell him he can't play until he shows one to the director.
I thought this book was interesting and kept you reading until the end. It did an amazing job at describing a problem that some kids may face today. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes baseball or just an enjoyable book. The author, Mike Lupica, has written two other books about kids in athletics and problems they have. They are titled Travel Team and Summer Ball. Both of which are exciting.
