Fears (Yips) can cripple the passions of any kid who likes to play baseball. And my fiend's mother was right when she said, don't let fear ever get in the way of your passion to play baseball." And she added, " put nothing into anything you do and you'll get nothing out."In this baseball story, Danny is a great baseball catcher. He has learned to handle the skill of catching baseballs behind home plate very well. However, one day he developed something like the yips. A fear suddenly took hold of him that made it hard for him to throw the ball. And so an interesting baseball story starts to unfold on how Danny deals with this serious problem. Does this story have a happy ending? Read on...Using baseball as a platform, Jake Maddox shares with middle school kids some humor along with illustrations about the game of baseball with some valuable lessons to learn along the way. Every middle school student will love this book, I give it five stars, and I'm Marvin P. Ferguson, author of BOYS ON THE GOLD COAST.
Great for middle school age children who enjoy sport genre books but have a low reading level. It's an awesome choice.
