" Not Sonnenblick's best - this story is about Pete, a boy who must deal with an injury that ends his days playing baseball forever, a grandfather who is slipping into dementia, and starting freshman year. It isn't a BAD book, it just isn't as good as Sonnenblick's other books, and it feels a little rushed and short. Pete is appealing and smart as a character, and his fans will probably like the book. Definitely not for kids lower than 6th grade. Best for 6-8, but be warned that boys who are looking for a baseball story will be disappointed. There is little baseball action, and some key details (no left-handed boy would be allowed to play catcher at a high school level) are just wrong.... "
