Last Shot is wonderful, mystery, chapter book written by John Feinstein. I enjoyed reading this book and so, I hope you do, too. Well, this book starts with Steven Thomas winning the writing contest for 14-year-olds and younger with another person named, Susan Carol Anderson. The grand prize is a trip to New Orleans with a press pass to go to the Final Four! The Final Four is like a huge tournament where four major, league basketball teams are chosen to play against each other to compete for their victory. Steven and Susan happened to overhear a conversation about the all-time famous, basketball player, Chip Graber, with this other man. He was telling the MSU’s star player that he has to win the game on Saturday, but the game on Monday; he has to choke out and lose. Otherwise… Was Chip Graber, MSU’s star, being blackmailed by this man? This unbelievable piece of information enters Steven’s and Susan’s personal bubble and proof is needed to catch this guy in the game, which is just two days away! Exactly what did Chip do to deserve this, or did he not do anything? This mystery caught my attention and I just know it will catch yours, too. Many boys and girls, of all ages, should read this book and when you read it, don’t stop reading! I love the secret relationship between Steven and Susan and how they come from strangers to best friends.
