__ Necessary Roughness  __  Review by Maria

This story is about a Korean family that have lived in LA for a very long time and now they have to move to Minnesota. When they move they have to start from scratch and so that's the big problem because their new and there are no Koreans in their school. When school starts they get treated very differently because of how they look like, but everything changed when Chan got in the football team. Everything was going fine after that Young was in the flute band and was hanging out with her friend Donna but when one night there was a car accident and Young died. Chan was very upset and he even wanted to quit the football team but he didn't. In one of his lasts games Abogee (Chan's not so very supporting father) finally came to one of his games.   At first I liked the book because Chan and Young were doing well in school and with their friends, but when Young died the whole story turned upside down. Chan wanted to quit the team and then Mikko was pretty sad and then that turned the book from good to terrible. So if maybe the ending was happy the book might have been more successful. The book was good it just needs a better ending than Young dies because that made it very depressing and I wanted to stop reading it right away.
