If you’re a baseball fan…especially a Boston Red Sox fan…this new nonfiction sports short is a must have for your family book collection!
Author David A. Kelly tells the story of the Boston Red Sox finally winning the World Series in 2004 with such clarity and detail, you’ll feel as if you are living through those games all over again. He captures the dreaded curse lore, the players and the infamous Red Sox vs. Yankees rivalry realistically and fairly.
The book can be a great emerging early chapter book for young readers, a read a loud book for a baseball family, or a quick read for an adult just wanting to get a touch of Red Sox folk lore. Though out, Kelly keeps the pace moving and draws you in so that you feel like you’re sitting in the locker room as one of the players, traveling through time with these great players and team.
That’s perhaps the most engaging aspect of the book. Once you start, you’ll have trouble putting it down, and I suspect so will your kids. You’ll all end feeling great about a team we all love to root on and having a perspective on the history of this team and that old curse that is on the one hand very familiar and on the other new.
