                The characters are well developed. I liked CJ’s coach who advices him on not to feel bad and work on his project with full determination. His mother is also supportive to him and tells him to work hard on the project.

                The narration is well done and the language is simple and lucid. The illustrations are done beautifully and they will surely help the readers in visualizing the story and characters.

                The cover page and the title of the book is apt to the story.

                Overall, I must say that this is a book that young readers will surely enjoy a lot and I would recommend it.
