HTML: Twelve-year-old Casey Snowden knows everything about being an umpire. His dad and grandfather run a New Jersey umpire school, Behind the Plate, and Casey lives and breathes baseball. Casey's dream, however, is to be a reporterâ??objective, impartial, and fair, just like an ump. But when he stumbles upon a sensational story involving a former major league player in exile, he finds that the ethics of publishing it are cloudy at best. This emotionally charged coming-of-age novel about baseball, divorce, friendship, love, and compassion challenges its readers to consider all the angles before calling that strike.

Other threads in the story involve Casey's estrangement from his mother who has remarried, his best friend who is obsessed with reality television shows, his desire to write about sports for the school newspaper, and steroids in baseball.
Baseball fans will enjoy this the most but there is much here for those less interested in the sport. ( )
