This was a really sweet book about a small group of friends making a little league baseball team. I don't understand the rules of the little league very well, but it made sense in the novel and I thought it was really awesome how they included a girl in their little league team. I particularly liked Harry, the main character's father and the coach of the team, and his unorthodox methods for teaching baseball, based on music.
The narrator, David Kresser, was not as impressive. He didn't sound very good in the recording and I had to pause frequently when the narration started to really annoy me.

Summary:
Kid’s father agrees to coach his little league team. The gang of misfits first time baseball players shoot to win the league championship.
Additional Comments:
- completely predictable yet enjoyable.
- a lot unrealistic yet enjoyable.
- classic underdog vs the town bullies story
- I remember Gina but can’t remember the MC’s name. The characters are charming yet forgettable. They become their stereotypes.
- the performance worked.
- The kids parents are picture perfect living and supportive and understanding and insanely talented.
Conclusion:
Clean. Appropriate for middle age boys and girls.
4/5 stars
