I recommend this book to everyone, even if you hate baseball or sports altogether. I was also able to learn some things about baseball. Like helping “Tuba Dave” Jablonski lose weight so he can run faster, helping the catcher get over his fear of the ball, and figuring out the mystery of shortstop Bobby Ray Devereaux. Almost all of the chapters focused on one member of the team and the efforts to try to help the character become a better baseball player. One major thing that I liked about this book was how it was arranged. In the end, all of their effort pays off and the Feather-Soft Tigers become the League Champions. But as the season progresses, Kristy helps solve the team’s problems one step at a time, and she always somehow manages to drag Corey along with her. A genius scientist coach who is clueless about baseball, an annoying girl named Kristy, who is from New York and is the coach’s granddaughter, a pitcher who cannot throw the ball, among other glaring problems with the various other members on the team. The story is about Corey Johnson, a boy whose Little League baseball team, The Feather-Soft Tigers (given that name because of their toilet paper company sponsor), has a bunch of problems. I decided to read it again and it was still as good as I remember. I first read this book last summer, and I really liked it.
