Love the Matt Christopher books but this one comes with a BIG WARNING for young readers. While a good book, the first chapter of this book details as written in book the "horrifying scene" of Archie finding his dad "A gun on the floor" "His father lying on his back, a dark red bloom of blood across his chest" committing suicide. This might be too much detail for young readers especially under the age of ten etc. It is just not expected in a sports book about football legends for this age group. There is no need to include the grandfathers suicide in detail, it could have easily be glossed over or even left out.
Like many who have lived in the Indianapolis area many love Peyton Manning. My grandson is a particular sports fan and at 11 he is also a boy who reads all the time. I got it for his birthday but read it myself first and totally enjoyed it. I think it helps to know the players better and while Peyton is not a saint, he is a good man and has done much for the sport and Indianapolis as well building a children's hospital in Carmel, IN outside of Indianapolis.My grandson loved it and could not wait to discuss it on my next visit. Boy's will have idols if we like it or not and Peyton, and his family, are certainly good role models. My only complaint was the first page of the book is about Peytons parent finding HIS parent who committed suicide. I know it happened and it's true and it certainly got my attention but not sure how a 11 year old boy felt about it. We have not, as yet, talked about it but we will.
What your child to read more? Let them read what they're interested in. Buy them a book or two, once they are done, ask what else they like, buy those. . Then ask if they want their own book shelf for their new books, after the affirmative answer, buy a bookself. Goodwill, yard sales, ikea, walmart, Ashley Furniture, antique stores, or Craigs list will all have them for all price ranges.Then you will watch your child want to read more and more and make collections and fill their shelves as you have done. :)
It's in the blood. Champions are born and not made. As a kid growing up my parents drummed that idea into my head. No wonder there are so many unhappy people in our world today. I don't believe it. Through hard work just like Peyton and Eli did, people can be successful.In this exciting sports story, Matt Christopher shares with kids of all ages, the personal biography of a football family with some remarkable accomplishments. Every kid will enjoy this entertaining book, I give it five stars, and I'm Marvin P. Ferguson, author of Boys On The Gold Coast.
My son loved this book. He's losing interest in reading and his teacher suggested autobiographies. This has helped! It's perfect for kiddos interested in sports.
I bought this as an add on gift to go with the Peyton Manning jersey I bought for my grandson for Christmas he likes them both.Arrived in good condition and on time
This book was for my son! He loves Matt Christopher and the books qualify for his AR points! (He enjoyed the book even though we're a Bears household!)
Interesting book about the Manning brothers. Grandson wanted it around super bowl time and I like to encourage reading therefore I gave it to him.
