Peter Friedman, a superstar pitcher, of my summer reading novel Curveball: The year I lost my grip changed dramatically over the course of my novel. When it's at the highest point of the climax, he realizes that he is the problem between his friend AJ, Angelika, and his grandfather. He thinks with his friend AJ that he won't understand that Peter can never play baseball again but in reality Peter can't just say it to him.Then in the end he can finally say that his injury is forcing him to never play again. Which ends all the major problems. Which is why Angelika is mad at him because he can't be honest to AJ which causes another twist in the plot. Then this ends when Peter can tell her that he knows what he has to tell AJ and his parents. Then his grandfather is losing his mind and Peter is the one not telling his parents that they have to do something to help him. He calls 911 to tell them to get to his grandfather when he is driving and can't remember anything and tells his parents he knew and this was all his fault. Which is how he developed in my touching novel to a more honest person encountering three major problems . He understood that he was the problem. And he was the one who fixed it. Which changes how he acted around them. He could actually talk to Angelika and AJ again because they stopped being mad at him and he was able to tell both of them the truth. Which allowed his Grandfather to go to an assisted living place. His best friend AJ to be friends again with Peter. And allowed Angelika to like Peter again and get their lives back on track.

An article I found on my novel demonstrates how my novel is more than just baseball and photography and everything working your way. It explains how he takes on these situations in an enjoyable way that makes you love the book and the characters and don't have to like baseball or photography. And because this story is so realistic, it could almost be a connection between some teens with the same problems going on in their lives.
