[Alexis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a funny book. My favorite part was when Hugo asked his Mom and Dad to shove a whole bunch of magnets from their refrigerator in his pocket. Dan Ditko had a spark in his eye and Hugo knew that meant he could control the ball with his thoughts. He was hoping the magnets would help him hit the ball. You'll have to read the book to find out what happens. If you like Basebell, and freaky eyeball monsters you would love this book. It is very silly.
