Caged Warrior by Alan Sitomer
4.0
This review is for a NETGALLEY ARC ebook copy.
I wish I could give half stars because this is probably more like 3.5 stars for me. I have read most all of Mr. Alan's books and was really excited to get this. I got into MD's story quickly. I liked that it was different in that it focused on a kid that was pushed into underground MMA fighting by his dad. It feels like extensive research was done on the subject and I appreciated the glimpse into the world. I also liked the relationship between MD and his little sister.
The story took awhile to setup, but I knew the main conflict was between MD and his father. Then there was the issue of the teacher and the school change. I just felt that some things came together in a too convenient way. And then the end left many loose ends. I don't know-maybe so there could be another book?
I do think my students would enjoy reading this-especially boy reluctant readers.
