Shooting Star by Fredrick McKissack Jr


Tonga Keti

Plot Summary
Jomo Rodgers is an incredible safety who can read plays quickly and also makes plays as well. In the book, Shooting Star, Fredrick tells a story about a senior who makes a decision which changes his life. The decision that Jomo makes is taking steroids to look bigger. Jomo makes this decision because the recruiters keep saying, "You look small for a football player".  Now he faces the problem of becoming addicted, while he loses his girlfriend and best friend.

Critical Evaluation
This book is a 10 out 10. The genre of this book is sports. This book is great because it can teach athletes who want to take steroids what can happen to them. This gives athletes a lesson to not take steroids. As I read the book it was very interesting to me that he had divorced parents who barely worry about him. This book is awesome because Jomo chooses to take steroids but has a change of heart and decides to be the person he is.
