I really enjoyed this story. Baseball, books, a writer, a lesson from history, what’s not to like? The story is told from the perspective of two young sisters. The way they each view situations (due to their different ages and interests) makes this a little different than most novels and certainly special and fun. I think young girls would enjoy reading this. The story of a family uprooted due to being falsely accused of belonging to the Communist Party offers the look at history I’m always interested in. And really, have we learned anything? I hope so.
Being a baseball fan, I was looking for more in the story, but it’s there, especially at the end and it’s obvious the writer knows the game. It’s always painfully obvious when a writer doesn’t.You don’t have to be a baseball fan to enjoy this novel, however. The emotional twist at the end makes this a book well-worth reading. You’ll enjoy it.
Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.
