**Review of Rush for the Gold by John Feinstein **

**Reviewed by Trace **


 * Have you ever wanted to get inside the world of the Olympics? Well this book will take you there. Written by John Feinstein and called __Rush for the Gold__ . It was made for grades 5 to 8, but can still go further. The characters relate to you because their really really close to your age. As well as this book having action at the end, but all throughout the book. In addition John Feinstein has even written the best selling sports book of all time. **


 * To start I will start with Stevie. Stevie is an average boy who plays sports at a mediocre level. Though he can write like nobodys business and always seems to have his nose in big stories. Now Susan Carol is a very smart girl and seems to have the answer or know all the facts. She can also manipulate people with her looks. She is also only 15 making the olympics for her 100 meter and 200 meter butterfly. Without a doubt these two make perfect partners to solve mysteries. As a result of Susan Carol making the olympics, Stevie does the reporting alone this time. **


 * This is a very dramatic plot with action all through the book. It is easy to follow because all of the parts in the story lead up to the climax and eventually to the resolution. In fact this is a man versus man conflict in which it is at the olympic and a lot of money is at stake. So bribery and cheating is at stake for the 200 womens butterfly. It has so many twists and turns that will change your conflict and what you think will happen. **


 * Other books in this series are __Last Shot__ , __Vanishing Act__ , __Cover Up__ , and __Army-Navy Rivalry__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. These are other good books that made me want to read this one. John Feinstein has won award like “ Best selling sports book of all time” and “ U.S. Basketball writers Association nomeny.” Never the less with this book winning best book for middle schoolers in the month by Amazon. Then there are two very exciting reviews I thought you should hear. “ Very mysterious. It’s a book you’ll never guess right what happens at the end! This is not just one of those books where you can figure out what happens right away, I thought it was. Turns out I was totally wrong about the ending. Read it.” and “I enjoy this book because it was well written and all of the scenes were painted with vibrant words and great detail. John Feinstein is an amazing author he mostly writes sports books.” **


 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To conclude this <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline;">__Rush for the Gold__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> is a fantastic book. It really brought me into the world of the Olympics and how people will do anything to win. It shows two young kids with one as an olympiad and the other one as a person who gets his nose in the background information. Remember John Feinstein is so admirable he has the best selling sports book and this books action never stops. I suggest you read this book it’s extremely clever. **
