recommends it for: anonymously evil campers of Tigerclaw
The book that Konigsburg wrote AFTER Mixed-Up Files, this book is a delicious stew of hapless Little Leaguers, a Jewish mother who addresses God through the ceiling lamp, and nickel-a-peep Playboy entrepeneurs. Watch this unlikely team of misfits go through a kooky training period where it seems like... well, it seems like nothing is going to go right.

a fun read about a little league team. mark's mom becomes the manager and his older brother is the coach. and mark's bar mitzvah is approaching. Not only does he grow up in the eyes of his religious community, but he also grows up on the baseball field. great ending.

Konigsburg was my favorite author for awhile (around age 10), and I read all of the books of hers that I could find. I think someone who likes baseball would especially like this one of hers.

Written in 1969. Mark Setzer has to have his mother and brother as manager and coach or his B'nai B'rith little league team. The boys pay a nickel for a peek at Playboy. Cute.
