(4) 4-6 There are some mysterious goings-on at Josh's middle school involving the baseball team--and steroids. Assured, vigorous sports writing makes this book notable: Green knows about baseball and the pressures put on young players to perform at ever-higher levels. The text is convincing regarding training regimens and baseball play, though somewhat less so about middle-school social life.
