Review

Marc is a fifth grader getting ready to go into 6th grade, that gets bullied and doesn't have a lot of friends. He is also weak and not good at any physical activity. His uncle, a Navy Seal comes to spend the summer with Marc's family and he begins to teach Marc how to work hard and stand up for himself. This is an inspiring book for young readers. It looks at what hard work can do for a person's confidence and physical fitness. Sometimes Marc's uncle was a bit over the top on forcing him to do and try things that Marc was uncomfortable with. It definitely had a military feel to it when it came to the training Marc's uncle but him through. The ending was good but Marc was a more aggressive than fit his character. Good

Overall Book Score: good
