"Didn't every young boy want to be the star of a Matt Christopher novella? There is something to be said for juvenile fiction that gets even the most hesitant readers to move to the corner of the couch, flip off the tube, and devour a pleasant sports story with good morals bubbling to the surface. "

The Kid Who Only Hit Homers Listener Reviews
-
" I really like this book thats why I gave it 4 stars. I thought it was kinda strange when at the end it said the trophy was lighter almost like someone was carrying it with him. The other peron was the one who was hitting for him. "

" I like this book because it was interesting because it was about baseball and that it wasn’t as bad as most of the books I read. This book made a lot of sense about base ball and how fun it is to to play "

" This book is about a person who came on the baseball team. He couldn't play so good. Then this person came along who could only hit homeruns. The person who couldn't play asked him to help him. It turned out the person who couldn't play wasn't a real person. "

" A little confusing in the beginning, but stick with it and everything will make sense in the end. An American classic! "
