I don't exactly play baseball or am even into it, so it was kind of confusing for me. The book though is pretty inspiring and there's this one twist that just will make you so surprised, but I won't spoil anything.

I think that Finding Buck McHenry is a good book because it's about a boy who thinks that his old schools custodian is the greatest right-handed baseball pitcher Buck McHenry.

It's a good book and tells kids about the importance of sports and if you like books that are like mystery I think you will like this book!!!!!!๐๐๐ My reason I like this book is that Jason and Aaron are trying to make a team are trying to be nice and make a team
