This book was about a boy named Travis Roy and how he grew up in a small town in Maine. Also it talks about his love for hockey growing up then he got drafted to a division 1 college hockey team at Boston University. Threw out the book Travis talked about how that was one of his goals in life to be on a division 1 hockey team. Along with many other goals in life but that one night at Boston’s first home game he got thrown in to the boards during the first eleven seconds of that game and became a paralyzed. After that the rest of the book is about his recovery in the hospital and that even tho you are paralyzed you could still do the things you like but I enjoyed this book a lot and recommend it to anybody who likes books to do about sports.
This book taught me an important lesson in life that not to take things for granted. Even tho Travis could not do a lot of things while in a wheel chair he still keep his head up and did the things he loved. And spent all of time with his family and I thought that meant a lot to me. But the main message I got out of this book was follow your goals in life and they will happen.
Hi John,
ReplyDeleteI've noticed a similar theme in the books you've read this year: they all have the message of having goals in life. I hope these stories have all resonated with you and that you stick with your goals.
