review 2: The book 42 written by Aaron Rosenberg and is about a young boy named Jackie Robinson who grows up to become a wonderful baseball player. In the book Jackie had to go through a tough time. This time was the period where white people hated the African Americans. Nothing stopped Jackie he never stopped playing the game he loved. Jackie became one of the best players. When his time came the Brooklyn Dodgers signed Jackie. People did not like him because he was black but when the crowd saw how good Jackie was they started to except him. Jackie helped change the game of baseball. I recommend this book to anyone who likes history in baseball or just baseball. This book would be good for grade 6-8. less

This was a great book! It told about Jackie Robinson's life, but also had a few funny parts.
