Stealing Home: Jackie Robinson: Against the Odds



Burleigh, Robert. Stealing Home: Jackie Robinson: Against the Odds. Illustrated by: Mike Wimmer. Simon and Schuster: 2007. ISBN: 978-0-689-86276-2.




Stealing Home is about a famous baseball player named Jackie Robinson. It is a biography of Jackie and a story. It has illustrations of Jackie Robinson. Jackie played for the Dodgers for most of his life in baseball. Jackie got married to Rachel Robinson in 1946, Then on a sad day in 1972 Jackie Robinson died. I loved this book Stealing Home because it tells all about Jackie and his career. I extremely recommend this book to anyone who loves baseball. Also, I think that grades third and up would enjoy this book.
