Mike Lupica

by Jack Jones

Mike Lupica is one of the best sport writers in America. He has written more than five books, and they are loved by kids. When I have read his books I noticed that the main character has something big coming up at their sport, but then they suddenly are not as good as they used to be. Then, they finally get amazing at their sport and succeed at what they’re doing. Mike Lupica is always coming out with new books.

Mike Lupica was born on May 11, 1952. He has three sons and a daughter and they live in Connecticut. Also, he is a newspaper columnist. You may think he does a lot but he also is a TV sports commentator and co-wrote autobiographies with Reggie Jackson and Bill Parcells. Being a sports writer made it easier for him to write novels. He also got good ideas for his stories by playing sports and reading sports stories as a kid. He writes as long as he can each day. He writes mainly about basketball, baseball, and football. Some of his ideas come from coaching his kids.  He writes for adults and kids. 

I like how Mike Lupica has many exciting ideas in his writing. He mainly focuses on one character in his stories and that person always has a big thing happen to them. Mike Lupica is still writing books.  He is on the news every once and a while.  He must be very busy and have a hard time writing a lot. Mike Lupica is always coming out with new books. Lots of people like him as an author. You can find his books in almost any library.  Try one, you might like it.
