Book Reviews

Take me out to the ball game… Young Felix of eleven is absolutely obsessed with baseball. His father was a famous Cuban player on a professional team. Obsessed as he is, he is at a baseball game, the Miracle against another team, (My little toad mind can’t remember the name of the other team, but you can read it to find out,) when a little incident happens. Well, more like an incident that makes the whole story a story. He runs away. None of my toad friends or I would ever do THAT, at least I wouldn’t, of course. He is mistaken inside the Miracle’s dugout as the new batboy. Follow Felix’s story in this wonderful book.

Even though I really don’t have quite a taste for baseball, I still enjoyed this lovable novel. This book inspired a new seed of imagination in my head, “In real life, you don’t have to be a grown up to have an adventure.” All people that live on Toad Hill absolutely love this saying made up by our first president of our hill, George Washingtoad, who was 6 toad years old when he became a president, “Just because though art’ young, doth not mean that thee shall not have a job.” I would recommend this book to nine year olds and up because of it’s sadness and realistic-ness, even though it is fiction. Have fun reading!
