An ALA Best Book for Young Adults
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Artful, subtle expression may be found in the author’s depiction of local color and metaphors mostly having to do with fishing and hunting.” —Publishers Weekly
“Cleverly told in a colloquial first-person twang, this thoughtful tale of authority questioned and dreams denied will be real enough to many readers.” —School Library Journal
“Vivid, suspenseful…Luke’s emotions are meticulously conveyed, and Ritter avoids making the boy’s father a one-dimensional villain, showing his troubled, conflicted psychological make-up. No ordinary baseball book, this is a rare first novel.” —Kirkus Reviews
Author
Author Bio: John H. Ritter
John H. Ritter grew up playing “good ol’ country hardball” in the hills of eastern San Diego County. Out on the field he would invent stories about the game—stories that, years later, would
end up becoming award-winning novels for young adults. His novels have secured his place as one of the preeminent writers of baseball fiction for young people. He lives with his wife on the Kauai,
Hawii.
