Review

In the fourth installment of Tim Green's Baseball great series, Josh deals with the divorce and incompatibility of his parents. The central theme around this story is baseball and adds to the excitement, but it is also emotionally intense in how Josh has to deal with his father's move to Florida and his mother's loss of the family home. Baseball is his life and tries to win a home run derby to secure a better future for his mother and little sister.

A fast-paced sports fiction that sports fans will enjoy. Recommended for grades 6 and up.

Overall Book Score: very good
