The book I am reviewing is about a kid, Barry, who loves to win baseball games. He is known as the hit-away kid. One day Barry missed a pop fly, he lied and said he caught the ball. His little sister Susan saw him cheat and wants him to tell the truth about catching the ball. Barry told his parents about lying to everyone about catching the ball and they want him to tell the truth. Barry doesn’t know what to do because he doesn’t want anyone else to know he lied. A boy Alec from the other team took a glass dog that belonged to his brother Tommy and wouldn’t give it back unless Barry made a deal with him. Barry had to hit two home runs or Alec would keep his brothers dog Does Barry hit the two home runs? Does Barry tell the coach the truth or maybe pay the consequence of lying? Or should he keep that incident to himself, and have the tension build up on him that he’s a cheater that keeps playing by his made up rules because he loves the game so much that he always wants to win?
I would recommend this book to someone who has ever been in a situation to tell the truth about something that they lied about and doesn’t know what to do.
