The Baseball Box Prophecy (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
This was a great read especially if you want to get a child interested in reading. It's a wonderful book to read to a child also. It has tremendous lessons of teamwork, love, dedication, selflessness and sacrifice. This is not just a book about baseball. It has time travel, magical powers, evil versus good, and morphing. And it tied up all the details and I like a book that wraps everything up. Cletis is a 12 year old boy that wants only to play baseball with the neighborhood boys, but to get on the team he will have to pass the initiation that all the other team members have done. What's the initiation, simple to take a recorder down into the wooded area behind the ball diamond, record tinkling the old hags chimes that are hanging on the back porch. Simple enough. Cletis takes the challenge, races down the hill to the hags house, rings the chimes, and runs up the hill to his friends. When they play the recorder there is nothing on it. What is Cletis to do, he has to pass this initiation to get on the team. Cletis grabs the recorder and goes back down the hill to try again, only this time the hag is waiting for him. The adventure starts when the hag chases Cletis and falls into the water, calling for help, Cletis can't just leave this old women to drown, so he returns to help her out of the water, and finds that they are connected in may ways. Cletis is part of a prophecy that the hag has been waiting to put into motion for 1000 years. As Cletis returns to the hags home he learns so many things, is given amazing gifts, and learns that what he has always grown up believing isn't necessarily the truth.
