I read this with my oldest. This was written in the 1970's and it's obvious - Sandy (boy) has to leave the baseball games early to go watch his sisters. He doesn't want to tell anyone - it might ruin his image! That leads the team to think he's getting special treatment. Etc. --- but the baseball passages are pretty action packed, so that's not bad. Pretty transparent book, but it did have a good moral "be yourself, don't get taken by something that may not be as awesome as it seems, etc." Short read. I don't think we'll keep it.
What do You think about Hard Drive To Short (1991)?
