Heat
  by Mike Lupica is a very well written and exciting story about a 12-year-old baseball pitcher who can throw very fast. 

After his father mysteriously dies, Michael has to make up excuses for his father's absence at games.  When other teams' coaches start getting suspicious about Michaels's age, they write a letter to the Little League officials saying that he shouldn't be allowed to play. 
"To protect Michael, Uncle Timo is not completely truthful with Mr, Gibbs."

Will Michael find his birth certificate in time to play in the championship and possibly the Little League World Series? 

Read this fantastically written book to find out.  I couldn't put it down and if you like any kind of sports and know something about baseball, you won't be able to put it down either.
