This is a story about brotherly love between two best friends. This book is a mix genre between sports and drama. This book is written by the famous sports author Matt Christopher is great author. After you read this book you should read more of his sport books.





I like this book because it wasn’t just about sports, but it had a drama and sad twist to it. My biggest dislike in The Submarine Pitch was there should have been more detail of the surroundings and the conflict.

I like this book a lot and I would recommend this author and the book to anyone I know or meet. This book is not a very hard read, but that doesn’t make it a dumb children’s book. Overall this book was pretty good. People of all ages will love this book.
