Book Report
I have been reading the book "Boost" by Kathy Mackel. The book is about the main character and narrator, Savannah Christopher, Savvy for short, and her older sister, Callie. Savvy and Callie are both athletic girls, but conflicts with their sport make them want to boost their game. In the book, Savvy is trying out for a 18U team, Fire, at the age of 13 with her friend, Nina Gonzalez. Meanwhile her sister Callie is a freshmen trying out for the varsity cheerleading team. I predict that because Savvy is a really good player, the older players will push her around. I also think her sister will get troubled with cheerleading on her size because it is mentioned how she sits on her iPod to listen to music all day and eat junk food. I think that since both sisters are very serious in their sports, they want to be as best as they can, they will do anything to improve their game. I predict that they will most likely incorporate drugs to their game. Most likely they will take steroids. I say steroids because athletes that take drugs usually take steroids because it makes them stronger and be their best at their game temporarily. I believe that Savvy and Callie using drugs to enhance their game will leave them ending up to be sick and eventually hospitalized since they are very young and will proboable become addicted from taking drugs. This act of taking steroids for the girls game will also jeopardize their relationship with their friends and family from being caught with the drugs. I think Savvy will lose her closest friend, Nina Gonzalez, whom plays on the same team as her. In the book "Boost", the two sisters, Savvy and Callie will get into a lot of trouble from their steroid use from their coaches and school supervisors as well. I think Callie's coach will ban her from the cheer team, and the school from the principle. I predict that Savvy's coach will also ban her from the team, but Savvy will probably apologize and making it up greatly to the coach and her
