(3) 4-6 Ten-year-old Mickey is determined to win a nine-ball championship at his family's pool hall, and he succeeds with the help of a math-whiz best pal, a mentoring cowboy, and his late father's pool-shooting legacy. In this welcome reissue, the novel's breezy first-person narration and depiction of a close-knit community are equally appealing.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
