If you paid attention to social media, you might have heard of a team called Savannah Bananas. They put imagination back into baseball. This book is about a girl whose life is so devoted and focused on baseball that she has no imagination. Over summer must find her imagination so she can make new friends and grow closer to her brother. There are some good lessons in here. The reader can see the Mom pushing baseball. This is what the mom wants not what the daughter wants. But you can also tell that the daughter does love the game. This book was lots of fun for any age.
