Home Run
Author(s): Tim Green
Perfect for fans of Mike Lupica, this book by New York Times bestselling author and former NFL player Tim Green makes for a thrilling new addition to Green’s bestselling Baseball Great series.
Josh’s life has just fallen apart. His father will no longer be coaching the travel baseball team and is moving to Florida, forcing his mom and baby sister to move into a small apartment on the wrong side of town. To make matters worse, the new coach of the travel team is an unforgiving drill sergeant.
But then Josh’s friend Benji tells Josh about a home run derby in which the winner gets a brand-new house. All he has to do is hit twenty home runs during his travel team season. With Benji and their friend Jaden’s help, Josh is hoping to hit it out of the park and save his family, because if he strikes out, he just may lose everything.
Review(s):
“Any sports fiction fan who wants plenty of play-by-play will find it here. Solid series fare.”
“The baseball action is exciting. Sports play a strong enough role to put this solidly in that genre, but the domestic issues broaden its audience.”
