ReplyDeleteIf you love baseball, then you will love this book! It is about a kid named Nick who recently had the Polio disease. He meets the great Satchel Paige because Nick’s father is on Satchel’s baseball team. I loved this book because I’m a huge baseball fan. Nick is my favorite character because he used to be a pitcher.

If you like Satchel Paige this book is a good one for you. It is emotional and funny. It is emotional because he was very sick. My favorite part was when he got to see Satchel Paige a famous baseball player. I liked learning about baseball in the olden days.
