QB1 by Mike Lupica

    This is the best book of 2014 because it held my interest and it kept me reading. The main character is Jake Cullen, he shows determination. It was inspiring to me that he never gave up and I admire that in a person.
               Jake's dad was a NFL legend, and his older brother was following in his dad's footsteps in being a QB. Jake is pressured to be like his older brother and his dad. Jake and his older brother were always compared to Eli and Peyton Manning. Jake wanted to prove to the team and his family that just because his brother left for college doesn't mean that the team will lose.
      I specifically liked how even though he was being over looked by everyone, he worked hard at practice. Jake never gave up when things got tough and not many people believed in him. Many people overlooked him and thought he was never going to be like his dad and brother. Jake had to prove himself to the team.

      The part of the book that will stay with me is eagerness and determination to be an amazing athlete. His eagerness to be great was to be more than what was expected of him. He had amazing strength on the field and off the field.
