Green, Tim, Best of the Best.
HarperCollins, 2011. Pgs. 263. Language: G, Violence: G, Sexual Content: G
Josh Leblanc is an excellent
baseball player. He helped his team win the U12 National Championship and get a
Nike sponsorship. His life isn’t perfect, however. After looking at houses with
a real estate agent, his father announces his divorce to Jake’s mother. When
offered a position on the all-star team’s Little League World Series, he hopes
the games will provide him with an escape from his family problems. Before he
can add another trophy to his shelf, however, he will have to step up and
become a leader for his team. Will he win the Little League World Series? Will
he be able to cope with his parents’ divorce?
The characters are likable and
believable. The plot is fairly well-developed and interesting. Readers who like
sports, baseball, and realistic fiction will like reading this book. EL (4-6).
ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
