This book is amazing. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.I laughed out LOUD, really, I had to pay attention who were near me while reading it.And at 94% I just HAD to STOP to read.

This is a MUST READ book! It's 1940 and Joey is a 12 years old Jewish boy living in Brooklyn after his parents divorce. Joey's had a rough start in the new area. He's being bullied pretty badly, made some bad decisions, and has come to the conclusion that there is only one way out of this mess....
4.5 stars. Very good epistolary historical fiction about a 12-year old Jewish boy living in Brooklyn in 1940 who starts corresponding with the New York Giants third baseman, beginning a life-changing friendship for both of them. This was touching and funny and had me in tears at the end.
