This book is really cute. It's a story about a heart transplant survivor who becomes a baseball coach.It tells you to never give up and always try your hardest. ( )

Baseball is life! I feel inspired to go play catch after finishing this book. Jeremiah is in middle school, he was left in an IT office after hours and discovered by Walt who later adopted him. They have been inseparable and get along despite all their oddities. Their relationship is beautiful to see develop and grow. There are so many great relationships outside the father-son duo.

Not only was Jeremiah left as a baby he also had a heart transplant which makes him unable to do much physical activity. When they move to a new town that revolves around baseball it's difficult for him to not play, so instead he decided to coach. But it can't be that easy...a dark cloud rises over the town when they discover that the high school baseball coach has been accused of giving steroids to his players.

Even with all these difficult hurdles in front of Jeremiah he still keeps hope and joy in his life! This was a great read, another home run by Joan Bauer! ( )

Heartwarming and charming, I didn’t even know this type of book existed - life lessons thru sports stories? I could definitely see the appeal, at least for adults. ( )

This book hits a home run with the story of Jeremiah, whose weak heart keeps him from playing baseball. If he can’t play, why not coach? Jeremiah makes it his mission to restore the team and town’s winning spirit with humor, heart, and a little baseball lore.

"A boy, Jeremiah, loves baseball so much. He started off with hard family conditions, and had to move. He is in a town where baseball eventually becomes almost nothing. Will he be able to save the town from getting baseball back, read to find out."
