this book is very funny story.THe boy injured his leg in his game.And he was hit by famouse actress with his stick.I really think that "poor him".But later,he appears in a newspaper.And he became famous!His stick became so expencive,and he became RICH! At first,I thought "poor him",but at last,I thought "I wish I were you!"
I think that book was interesting and sad. So this book was about a man was playing american football and his leg got broken, so he went to the hospital and then he read the magazine. When he was reading a beautiful woman went past him and he liked her.
