Status Updates From Taking Sides

I like my book because it talks about basketball. The main character Lincon is the best player in his team (Soto 70).

My favorite character in this story is Lincoln because he is really good at dealing with stuff under pressure for example when he was hurt and somebody broke into his house he was very calm and tried to fight the intruder. The characters felt very real to me. (Soto 51)
