This is a wonderful book for all baseball fans, as well as anyone who likes a good story about triumphing over the problems life often brings. Michael Arroyo lives in the shadow of Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. He is twelve years old and an amazing pitcher for his Little League team. Can he help propel them to the Little League World Series? He has a problem, however. Because he is SO good, the rival coaches and players do not believe he is only twelve years old and eligible to play. He needs his birth certificate which is somewhere in his native Cuba. Both his mother and beloved Papi are dead, and if Social Services discover he is living alone with his older brother Carlos, Michael thinks he will have an even worse problem. Help comes from an unexpected source. . . from a girl named Ellie and her dad, EL Grande, star player for the New York Yankees. Will Michael overcome his family losses AND his Little League problem?? Find out while reading this book you might not want to put down! { Another good book by Mike Lupica is “Miracle on 49th Street”, which is a story about a girl whose father is a BOSTON CELTIC!)
Food for thought: Can you still enjoy this book even though Michael loves the Yankees?
