I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I enjoy G Mitchell Baker's writing very much. He knows how to grab the reader's attention right from the start. Soccer Tommies, Baseball Mommies is no exception.With the town torn apart by natural disaster, the best and the worst in its citizens are on full parade. Young and old, alike, passionate in their belief that the only remaining sports field be used by their preferred team, leads to lessons learned in compromise, kindness, friendship and community. It falls upon the leaders of Belleville to find a way to calm tensions and bring the town back together.Jane Carroll's kind spirit and positive voice adds to any life she touches. The same is true for any work she contributes to, such as this one. I was ever-so-pleased to know she had been a part of creating this wonderful YA story.I recommend this book for all middle school age kids, parents, coaches, and community at large.
