This book was fun, but kind of hard to read. This book was in short stanzas. I liked the plot because I could put myself in the kid's spot.

What a wonderful honest sad book about the horrors of a cancer diagnosis! Because it is in verse, it is a very quick read; but the impact of the book is strong. A book to make you cry and care! ( )

Teens will like that you can read this book in under an hour. It's bittersweet tone deals with the devastating news of cancer. It's hopeful yet real dealing with the turmoil news like this can bring to any family. It's excellent and one of those books that says with you long after you finish reading it. ( )

From Destiny Library record, "A rising high school baseball star faces his most difficult challenge when his father is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer."

Touching book written as a series of poems separated into sections titled Wind Up, Strike One!, Extra Innings, and Three Strikes! The father's illness and the family's reactions and changes are shown. Although dealing with a difficult subject, I didn't have the emotional reaction to this book as I did to At the End of Words : a Daughter's Memoir by Miriam Stone.

Review from Kirkus Review starred (February 1, 2006)
Mark Warren's world is about to be turned upside down by his father's sudden diagnosis of cancer in this novel written in a spare, masterful sequence of poems. The tenth grader, an aspiring star pitcher, still has an innocence and ability to feel, qualities absent from much of contemporary YA fiction. And while the story follows a formulaic structure-Mark's got a best friend and falls in love-both these characters support Mark with genuine warmth and affection through the ups and downs of his father's treatment. What keeps this arresting is the kindness and understanding of the characters-not just Mark's friends, but his family, too-and the astonishing minimalist language of each poem that advances the storyline and reveals Mark's attempt to grapple with everything. There isn't a lot of background noise: no sidebar conversations into other character's unhappy or dysfunctional lives; the focus is clearly on Mark, life and death and the exquisitely evoked simple and complex mysteries of the universe. Backmatter includes "National Help Lines" for further information on cancer and organizations to help children with bereavement. (Fiction. 12 ) ( )
