I loved when Joshua's best friend sneakily 'threw' the ball game (read the book to find out how and why). Joshua's family is nice, but not absolutely perfect. I also love how the bully gets a come-uppance. Sure, the theme is obvious, but it's still a wonderful story. I think young readers who are struggling will empathize and enjoy the story, and as a woman about the age of the teacher, who would be delighted to tutor motivated children after school, I found it absolutely darling. And it's concise - it gets to the point, tyvm. no reviews | add a review
