Gym Candy
Gym Candy by Carl Deuker is about a teen that
wants to find his true self. His name is Mick Johnson and he is out to beat his
enemy that is keeping him from being a starter on the varsity football team. His
enemies’ name is Cam that isn’t a true talent. Unlike Cam, Mick has football in
his blood.
Cam thought he
could get away with anything in life because he was the top player on his
football team. Cam is a bigger guy, so he can plow through people. Unlike Mick
that is just fast. Cam got kick off the team for when Him and another player
got caught at a party drinking.
Mick’s dad was a pro football player till he got fired. That’s
why Mick has Football in his blood. Mick was the second string running back but
now he is in at first string for now. Mick has a better attitude and a better
mind than Cam, till Mick took a wrong turn. Mick made that wrong turn so
he could be and stay better than Cam for the years to come till Cam graduates.
Mick knew the consequences to what he did if the team finds out.
They both have same comparisons. Like they both love the
sport of football. They are both really good at football. Both of them were
coaches pets and fought for number one till one is marked king. But it might end up bad for both of them
I
can clearly relate to this book. This book I think is more close to realism
than some of the other sports books I read. This book made me see the events
in the book as they happen. I have been in some of their footsteps. The book I think
is trying to say that there will always be a person to beat in life and that it
won’t be use to do.
