There are a lot of books out there on the market. There are good books, there are bad books. Sometimes there are books that stand out as great. Under the Baseball Moon by. John H. Ritter is one of those stand out books. Under the Baseball Moon is a book about a teenage boy named Andy. Andy has dreams of using his unique style of trumpet playing to become famous. Everything is going great until a mysterious man in black comes to town offering Andy fame and fortune. This book is exceptionally well written and easy to follow. There are many dynamic characters with their own personality. This combined with the authors witty remarks makes an awesome duo. What I liked most about this book is captivating. In many sports books you lose interest due to predictability and cliche endings. Although the overall book was fantastic, I felt that the ending was rushed and not really complete. I would suggest the author expound more on the ending to make it feel more complete. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun read.
