Student Review: YELLOW FLAG by Robert Lipsyte

Image form RRHS Catalog

A boy named Kyle, who lives in a racing family, is the brother of a racecar driver named Kris. His whole family has been in racing, his grandpa, his dad, and his brother. They had always wanted Kyle to also follow their path, and Kyle did have a special talent for it. Even though he was talented, he never had any interest in pursuing his father’s dream of him becoming a racecar driver; he is interested in being apart of a quintet. Suddenly one day a tragedy occurs, and Kyle is forced to choose between racing and music. Kyle chooses racing but is then stuck in the dilemma of whether or not he wants to drive until his brother recovers, or does he want to race - and win? This book has a lot of action and is super fast pace, and there is never a moment without suspense about what Kyle is going to do. This book is extremely intriguing and you will never be able to put it down. You would like this book if you like books about sports. It is also a good read for kids who are into books that make you emotional. This book is a nonstop emotional roller coaster.
