Mike by Andrew Norriss is a fictional story about a tennis prodigy named Floyd going through a journey of self-discovery with a mysterious boy named Mike, someone that only Floyd seems to be able to see. It is a book that every reader can connect to in some way or another, and is a genuine and heartwarming story. The plot was compelling and introspective, allowing the reader to see deeply into Floyd’s consciousness and connect it to their own. While the development of Floyd’s character was above-average there could have been more in aspects of his character’s story, including but not limited to his time with his grandma, his relationship with his parents, and his time studying marine biology. The story leaves the reader wanting more, but also with a new sense of understanding of themselves despite the concise nature of the book. The sweet and honest character of Floyd and the ending of the book will leave readers with their hearts warm and content at seeing his internal conflict resolved, and readers will find themselves devoted to the outcome of Floyd’s story. Mike is a book that is great for all readers, but especially for readers in high school or later who find or have found themselves facing big life decisions and are looking for a quick and lighthearted read. — Reviewed by Sam, CHS Student and voracious reader.
