Cover-Up: Great for sports and mystery lovers
Rating  (5)
Date: 2009-08-22
The sequel to Last Shot and Vanishing Act, this is a story of two young reporters who have a nose for trouble. Steve Thomas has just been fired from working on a big sports show and is devastated, until he is offered a once in a lifetime chance: work as a reporter for the Washington Post at the Superbowl. So he goes and happily meets up with his former colleague but still great friend Susan Carol. After a couple of days of pre-coverage of the Superbowl Susan and Steve come across something that could change the outcome of the game and the whole sport. With sports action, mystery, suspense, romance, and friendship this book has the whole package. Well written with great plots and red herrings to throw readers off this book should be read by any sports fan or aspiring journalist.

In the third book that John Feinstein has wrote about the aspiring kid reporters, he crafts a story that reveals the greed and controversy in sports while thrilling us with the adventures of the reporting duo. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves sports and action/thrillers.

The Super Bowl is one of America's most watched events of the year. Could you imagine if there was a giant cover - up? Cover Up is about two teenage reporters who go to the Super Bowl, one for the Washington Herald, one for a TV show. Susan Carol, a fourteen year old reporter for Kids Sports on TV, attends a Super Bowl party a couple days prior to the actual game. A doctor for the Dreams, one of the teams in the Big Game, is there also. He gets drunk at the party and thinks that Susan Carol is his age, so he starts to talk to her, and, by accident, reveals information that could possibly prove the whole offensive line of the Dreams positive for HGH, an illegal substance.
The story is fantastic, thrilling, and entertaining throughout, however there are many flaws to the book, which all have to do with the author, John Feinstein. There are many miss - wordings and parts that could've been explained better, and there are some `run on' sentences. This completely weighs out the quality of the story. At some parts where Feinstein went wrong, I even laughed to myself, thinking I could've written the part better.
Overall, I rate this book a 3 out of 10, or 2 stars out of 5. Although entertaining, the book is poorly written. I only would recommend this book to young readers who are looking for a quick and easy read.

"Cover-up" is one the most fantastic books that John Feinstein has written. The book is about Steve Thomas and Susan Carol who are reporters for USTV( United States Television). The kids have been to almost all of the major sport events. When Steve Thomas is fired from the television reporting squad, his co-host Susan Carol is not happy. When the TV station is replacing him with a dumb headed singer who, steve learns has no knowledge of even how to write a report he isn't happy either. But when he is hired by another TV station,the wars for who get Steve are on.
Reading this book helped me realized that even though you might think that the whole world has come to an end because of something bad that has happened to you ,you can still prevail.
I would recommend this book to audiences between the ages of 10 -100. This book has sports action, romance, and just plain sweetness. I think we should read this book in our English class. It was an extremely good book.
