He has theories that make you laugh, and you can kind of see his logic. That is until Holling’s favorite person is Mrs. Baker. It is Mrs. Baker that get’s him on the Yankee field with the players. It is Mrs. Baker that helps him win over his girlfriend. It is Mrs. Baker that helps him fall in love with Shakespeare. Holling figures out who he is in this novel. He discovers his love for his family and for the value of life. I will definitely be reading this one again. I will be recommending to others too. It goes to show that all it takes is one person taking a special interest in someone and theirs and yours can change forever.
