Author: Ron Koertge Book Color: Blue
Book Genre: Realistic Fiction Summary: When Kevin Boland is diagnosed with mono, it's no more baseball for him until he gets strong enough to play again. While in bed, he steals his dad's poetry book and tries his hand at writing his own poetry. Before he knows it, he is writing sonnets, haikus, and other types of poems like crazy. He even gets a girlfriend because of their similar likes of poetry. Once he is well enough to play baseball again, he figures out that he likes poetry more than baseball. What will his friends think? Personal Review: I'm not that big of a baseball fan. I mean, sure, I love watching the game, but some things just don't exactly click for me. My sibling would understand more about what some of the terms in this book mean than me! I liked when he started to write poem, when he got the girl, and when his baseball coach describes the St. Louis Cardinals Major-League Clubhouse. Overall, this was definitely a great book, and I want to read the second book (yes, there is a second book)! Recommendation: I would recommend this book for people who like to read poetry, who would like to learn how to write a poem (Kevin does learn a few useful tips on writing certain poems), and, of course, people who like baseball.
