(2) 4-6 Firefighter Jim teaches nine-year-old Maggie how to score baseball games, an interest that becomes a way of keeping faith after Jim is called to serve in Korea. When he returns, traumatized, Maggie hopes baseball can bring him back to himself. Park's simple narrative voice captures Maggie's yearnings and her widening understanding of the world in this tender, introspective tale. Websites.
