Horn Book (Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2007)

This novel seems intended primarily to convey the rules and terminology of baseball as it was played in the late 1800s. Talk of "gardens" rather than outfields and "strikers" instead of batters may interest modern sports fans, but readers who'd prefer characterization and a genuine story arc will be disappointed. The illustrations range from cleverly detailed to sketchily unfinished.

All Annie ever wanted was to make music. And why not? Her brother, Lee, played wonderful music on his trumpet. Her sister, Patty, played the piano. Annie wants to play, too. She just couldn't play an instrument. But Annie doesn't give up. Not until she finds her own special gifts. This is a heartwarming story about a girl whose determination to bring happiness and beauty to her world helps her to discover the happiness and beauty in herself.
