[David Garcia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like this book because its about sports and i love sports. I love to read about
other football players. I would love to be in the N.F.L when i grow up because that's
my dream. If i want to be in the N.F.L, I will have to know how it goes and have experiences. That's why I read about football players and sport books.
