Setting of the book Heat by Mike Lupica

The story takes place in Bronx, New York. Near the Yankees stadium. The main character of the story is Michael Arroyo as the story is based over him. The story took place in 2006 when the book was published. I know this because they talk about a quote said by Joe DiMaggio which was framed in the old stadium. The stadium was replaced in 2007. The characters in the story all wore cloths like we normally wear. This shows that the story took place recently.

Discussion question: Have you ever had difficultly finding out what time (year) your story took place?

  1. I have had trouble finding the year my book takes place because some books I read are set in the future and some are set in the past, and neither have any explaination on what date it is.
