Members Reviews:
For baseball fans...
Molly's favorite memory of her dad is playing catch in the backyard. He taught her to pitch and she even mastered the knuckleball pitch. One night about 6 months after he died she decides that playing softball is not good enough. She wants to play baseball and tries out for the boy's baseball team. Her best friend supports her decision and Lonnie, one of the catcher's becomes her catcher learning how to deal with the knuckleball. The only thing that worries Molly besides being accepted onto the team is telling her mom. This book is recommended for baseball fans.
Great book
My son had to read this for a book contest. He liked it. My 10-yr-old daughter loved it. Lots of teaching points on gender issues and bullies and not fitting in. The main character, Molly, triumphs over it all and makes a lot of friends along the way.
Five Stars
for school
Awesome Book
I love softball...and this was a book to my interest because it was about a girl playing baseball. I loved the book so much. I liked the moral of the story and all kids who have had something terrible happen to them or their family, NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!
