Review
"Ritter has crafted a work that is far beyond the ordinary. It s about music and softball, dreams and passion, courage and loyalty and mysticism. The characters are eccentric and dynamic . Even the language is multi-layered, mixing music, sport and street talk with soaring imagery. [T]ruly remarkable work. -Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Ritter pulls out all the stops in developing his myth-heavy plot, but what really makes the book soar is his sense of place: the laid-back, hippie-influenced, communal spirit of the OB permeates every scene, offering stark contrast to the coldly commercial world toward which Andy aspires. As in his earlier work, Ritter melds style to content beautifully, telling his story in a hip, street-smart argot that perfectly matches Andy s trumpet improvisations. Teen friendly, lots of fun, never preachy, but with plenty of thematic pizzazz. Booklist, starred review
Satisfying. School Library Journal, starred review
"About the Author
John Ritter has written many books and numerous short stories for young adult readers. His first novel, Choosing Up Sides, won the 1999 International Reading Association Children’s Book Award for Older Readers and was designated an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults. Kirkus Reviews praised Choosing Up Sides—which attacked the once-prevalent views of religious fundamentalists toward left-handed children—as “No ordinary baseball book, this is a rare first novel.” In 2004, Ritter received the Paterson Prize for Books for Young People for his third novel, The Boy Who Saved Baseball.
