5By CGullattaI first read this book when I was 12 and it continues to impress me. It's more of a story about life than baseball. Favorite book of all time.Amazing book!
5By Rweber43This book is very good!! Cannot put it down!Amazing.
5By SmallkicksI first read this book in 7th grade. Not because the teacher told but because it had some to do with baseball. I'm a girl do I play softball but the book made the same sense to me as it would a baseball player. Now I'm reading it again and I'm not a sophomore. My favorite book ever I could read it over and over again. <3Best book ever!

5By Zack1GUII first read this about 12 years ago, and in my mind this is the best book I have ever read. Everything from the story to the character development is perfect. Brings many memories back of my childhood and love for the game. Usually pick this up every year or so just to read it again. 10/10Heart of a Champion (rating)

5By TheExclamationI read this for the first time in 6th grade, I'm now in 10th grade and still read it multiple times a year. Once you start reading you can't stop, so you can probably finish it within 2 days! GREATEST SPORTS BOOK EVER
