(3) 4-6 The boyhood experiences of Auch's husband influenced this well-told story set in 1946. After Norm loses his hand in a meat-grinder accident, his mother insists he can still do everything he did with two hands, but his best friend acts as if Norm can't do anything. Readers will be inspired by Norm's story, as he finds ways to play baseball one-handed and achieve scholastically, musically, and artistically.
