Book Reviews of Six Innings

Book Review: SHOULD BE AN AFTER SCHOOL MADE FOR TV SPECIAL!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am not just saying that because my son is one of the characters in this book, I genuinely thought James did an amazing job at not only capturing the hearts and minds of little leaguers, but the trials and tribulations that they go through on a day to day basis.
Speaking on a personal note~ At one of our sons baseball games, James told me that my son Tyler was going to be a character in this book. Not believing what I heard, I excitedly waited for the book to come out. When it did, I had tears in my eyes, as James nailed Tyler to a Tee, as well as every other character he depicted in this book.
It truly takes a special author and person to spend the amount of time he did with these boys, and come up with an incredible story line!
Kudos to James Preller!!

Summary of Six Innings

Two teams, six innings, one game.
A lively cast of characters—baseball-loving boys between the ages of eleven to thirteen—are playing the biggest game of their lives. With acrobatic catches, clutch hits, dramatic whiffs, and costly errors, this game is full of action. But as the book unfolds, pitch by pitch, a deeper story emerges, with far more at stake: Sam and Mike, best friends, are trying to come to terms with Sam’s newly diagnosed cancer. And this baseball diamond becomes the ultimate testing ground of Sam and Mike’s remarkable friendship as they strive to find a way to both come out winners.

This is for the championship.

This is for life.
