My Favorite Author-

I chose to write about Matt Christopher because all of his books are about sports, and sports have been my main interest since I started playing football in the fourth grade.   I find his books most interesting because he usually makes the main character the underdog at the beginning of the story.  Through the stories you get to read about how they have to persevere, work hard, and get better in their sport and in life.  These stories have taught me never to quit, and that you can always get better.
