Brooklyn Nine by Alan Gratz
Nine innings, nine
generations, nine ways baseball impacts a family from 1845 to 2002. Told in
nine "innings," each told from the point of view of a generation that
begins with Felix Schneider, a young German immigrant who loves the game of
baseball. Through the Civil War, the All-American Girls Professional Baseball
League of the World War II era, and ending with the search for the history of a
special baseball bat, Brooklyn Nine shows how important the game of
baseball can be. Easy to read, this is a great pick for any baseball lover.
