Stars in the Shadows: The Negro League All-Star Game of 1934

106 pp. | Atheneum | January, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-689-86638-8 $14.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Frank Morrison. The historic East-West Classic of the Negro League (when African Americans were not allowed in the Major Leagues), is reported in play-by-play detail by a radio sportscaster. Awkward rhyming and uneven rhythm hamper the flow of an otherwise riveting narrative; the text, nicely accompanied by black-and-white graphite drawings, allows readers to become acquainted with early baseball greats.
Reviewer: Luther B. Clegg
