About the Author
While John H. Ritter is well known for his imaginative baseball novels for young readers, Under the Baseball Moon expresses his other love: music. John’s first novel, Choosing Up Sides, won the 1999 IRA Children’s Book Award and was named an ALA Best Book for Young Adults. His subsequent novels Over the Wall and The Boy Who Saved Baseball went on to secure John’s place as the preeminent writer of baseball fiction for young people. A full-time writer of German, Irish, and American Indian descent, he lives in San Diego with his wife.
From AudioFile
Ritters fresh story features two teenagers, a talented musician and a softball player, and adds a dose of magical fantasy and a chaste love story. Dan Woren creates distinct voices for Andy, who crafts his own musical styles, and Glory, who strives to be a great pitcher. The supporting characters are well done, as well. The story is set in Ocean Beach, California, an amalgamation of ethnic and cultural types, and each is given appropriate accents. From a mentoring grandfather to a streetwise mystic, Woren delivers believable characters and brings alive this unique story of relationships and music.
