In The Year Of The Boar Jackie Robinson

In The Year Of The Boar Jackie Robinson

I recommend In The Year Of The Boar Jackie Robinson for people who like the game baseball and for kids that move to new schools. This Book is about a girl called Shirley Temple Wong who lives in China. Shirley's Father had got posted to America( New york) because of his work and he wanted to give his daughter better opportunities  to learn, but Shirley's mother said to the father that she and Shirley will come after a year to America. So the father set of to America, when he was in America he kept sending English words on a paper so Shirley's mother could study English. Father never sent any sheets for Shirley even though Shirley only knew how to say hi and bye. After 1 year mother and Shirley went to America and all they knew was that the city they were going to live in was called Brooklyn . When Shirley reached America she immediately finds it hard because no one hardly speaks Chinese there everybody only spoke English. When Shirley goes to school she has this teacher called Mrs Rappaport, on Shirley's first day she learns lots of English words. When it was lunch time some people told Shirley to come with them they took Shirley to a place where they were not aloud and bought lunch. Later on in the book Shirley discovers that she has a big liking for baseball her favorite team is the Dogers, the Dogers are an American team. Shirley’s favorite player is Jackie Robinson, Jackie Robinson is also the best player in the Dogers. Later on Shirley babysits these 3 children in her apartment called Sean, Seamus and Stephan. After Shirley’s first 3 times of babysitting her( Shirley) gets lots of money for doing it so her mother and father get her a piggy bank and tell her to save this money for collage. But Sean, Seamus and Stephan are not easy to handle so without telling her parents she takes out money from her piggy bank and uses it to get candy for the triplets and in place of the money she put buttons in it. In some time the Dogers are going to play a team in the finals. Will Shirley go for the match? Tune in to find out.
