Summary: Bull Catcher
Review: If you like baseball and surprises, you don't won't to miss Alden R.Carter's version of Bull Catcher. The book starts out with Neil Larsen alsoknown as Bull when he is in the ninth grade.
Bull and four of his friends are about to try out for baseball at their school. Out of the four of them that tried out, three of them made it to varsity. The one kid that didn't make it to varsity was really mad, but he decided that it was better than nothing. The varsity's first couple of games they played wasn't that good but then a new guy came to their school and tried out as pitcher. Bull was in charge of making the new pitcher the best in the league. After Bull worked with Phoung he did become the pitcher in the league. I know that because the coach said to Bull "Good job, now we have the best pitcher". During one of Bull's summers during his high school career, he went to a camp to be a counselor. While he was at camp he meet a girl that he liked so much that when he was around her, he couldn't talk right. He started to be able to talk to her when camp ended. The next summer he was going to go there again, but his mom made him go to L.A. with her. While Bull was in L.A. one of his friend got killed by drinking and driving.
Other than that, I think that Bull Catcher is a interesting book.

Summary: For any young, sportsman, this book stirs the imagination
Review: My 10 year old son and I read this book together over a period of 2 weeks. My son hates to read but loves sports so this was my opportunity to encourage a partnership between something he didn't like and something he loves. This book brought a new interest into his life. It is superbly written with just the right amount of humor, parental annoyance, not-to-hot love life & tragedy. Bulls everyday life as well as his baseball career kept us wanting more after each chapter. My son has requested a copy for Christmas which is a milestone in itself. And when we were through reading Bull Catcher my son said "I'm going to miss Bull", well so will I.

Summary: a baseball story that will leave you with a smile
Review: _Bull Catcher_ is a quick read for baseball fans, despite a few sub-plots that just don't add much to the story. (Child-abuse and a failed love story, and a camping accident)I really got into Bull, as a character and I felt some emtions for him as we watched him grow through his high school years. As we continue to find out about Bull's love of baseball, we learn that Bull will end up being a wonderful man in the end. I'm wondering what Bull would be doing today. A Virginia Young Reader Selection for the 2000-2001 school year. If you liked this story, try _Roughnecks_ by Thomas Cochran, a first person narrative of a championship football game set in Louisiana.
