lee’s book review
The Red Boxing Gloves
The author writes most of the story in the boxing ring.
The main characters in the Red Boxing Glove s are Miles, Terry and Brickley. They behave like young boys about eleven years old. Their hobby is boxing and sparring against each other. They all want to be better than each other. Brickley is honest but he does not play by the rules. Terry is self-confident and frightened that he is not good enough to fight. It took him a while to fight.
Most of the story is at boxing training, after doing hard sweaty press-ups and working on the punchbag. They go and spar against each other and they don’t like to lose, so it will be hard for them.
Two boys called Terry and Brickley are the two main boys in the Red Boxing Gloves. The author is trying to explain that you can’t judge a person by their face.
It’s a serious story but some of it is chatty. The chatty part can be boring at times. This book would recommend from the age of 10-14years old. If you like serious books this would be the book for you.

Well done Lee. It is interesting to know that this book has a serious message. You obviously enjoyed reading it.
This is a good review but I don’t understand one part. You say he is honest but then that he doesn’t play by the rules. This seems to be a contradiction. Could you explain what you meant?
This is indeed a good review.
From what you describe, do you think that it is more likely to appeal to boys rather than girls?
when he brakes the rules he owns up
