Shoot+for+the+Hoop

Dustin, The title of the book is __Shoot for the Hoop__. The author is Matt Christopher. I liked this book because it teaches you that if you have a disease you can do whatever you put your mind to. You do not need to be restricted from playing sports if you don’t have to be. Rusty Young was playing basketball with his friends. He went unconscious and woke up in the hospital. Rust finally found out that he had diabetes. Then his parent s wouldn’t let him play basketball until he could do his own insulin shots by himself. While I was reading this book Rusty was diagnosed with diabetes. He likes to play basketball with his friends. I like the way Rusty Young never gave up when he was not able to do before. I am like Rusty because we both have a disease. I was diagnosed with asthma when I was five years old and had problems breathing when I played soccer and Rusty was diagnosed with diabetes. Also we have done are best to control our diseases. I wound recommend this book to anyone that has a disability or disease. It teaches you to try and succeed in your dreams and never to give up. Also, the book is a confidence booster.
