I chose Pop for my summer reading activity because it seemed the most interesting book out of the choices. After reading the novel, what I found most interesting was how a young high school player met and practiced with a retired star in the NFL. I thought this was very cool because playing Lacrosse with a professional athlete is one of my dreams. I think I would learn a lot from the pro because he is very experienced and could tell me what I'm doing wrong. Another good part of the book is when Marcus realizes that Charlie is Troy's father. This caught me by surprise and I definitely was not expecting it.
I agree with Chris. When Marcus realizes that Charlie is Troy's father, that suprised me I would of never thought of that.
