Kwame Alexander and Mary Rand Hess have another hit on their hands. Noah and Walt are high school juniors who want to fit in. Walt has decided he is gong to make the varsity baseball team their senior year and works hard to make it happen. Noah is carrying a torch for his long-time best friend Samantha, who happens to date baseball star Cruz. Over a four-week period in their lives, we learn so much about Noah, Walt, Sam, and Cruz. This novel in verse is perfect in every way. I am so thankful that the authors chose me to be part of their street team. I can’t wait to buy published copies for my students.

I didn't get far into this book before I realized it just wasn't for me. It's getting stellar ratings, which is fantastic. I'm sure it's email, I've only heard amazing things abit Kwame Alexander. But I judged a book by its cover without reading the blurb and assumed it was YA, I didn't know it was listed as poetry and written in verse and that's just not my thing. So I won't be reviewing. My mistake!!
