Initially I saw this book at Borders and almost put it back. What a huge mistake that would have been!
This book will move you in a way you never see coming. I laughed out loud. I cried like a baby. And I totally recommend this book to everyone!
You do not have to be a baseball fan or know anything about baseball to enjoy this book. The characters are of their own ground and they will draw you in.
This book is a unique glance into a world of 12 year old boy who makes you see him and all of his wounds. It a story of how he manages to work his way into the life Charlie Banks, his hero, and trust me . . . he'll work his way into your heart in the process. You will not want to put this book down.
For me, in the end, this book represents what all good books should be . . . an experience of what blooms inside of us when we open the door the story's journey, of what we leave behind and of what we remember what we lost at the book's closure. And more importantly the feeling that I am better off having read the book in the first place.
