"Heat" by Mike Lupica

This book was a quick read. It is about a boy named Michael Arroyo, a talented 12 years old Little League Baseball player. He lives without his parents and only lives with his seventeen year old brother in the shadows of the Bronx, New York.

In this novel, the big dilemma is that one of his little league rivals accuse him of being older than twelve. Without his birth certificate, which is stuck in Cuba, he has no way of proving himself.

Michael's dream is to lead his little league team to the little league World Series in order to play in Yankees Stadium. His chances are very high because he has a pitch with "serious heat."His dream is to meet his all time hero, the great Yankees pitcher, El Grande.
