Query: Not Just for Girls

I read this book for a Children's Literature class at Kent State University. At first I didn't think that I could gain anything from reading children's stories but I was wrong.Now, I was interested in reading this story even before I got started. Being a baseball fan and former softball player I couldn't wait to read a book about females playing my favorite sport. Another aspect that peeked my curiosity was the time period. I have always found myself intrigued by the post WWII era.Although I was hooked from the beginning I was pleasantly surprised at the underlying complexity of the plot. I was somewhat unprepared for what was beneath surface but was very excited to see some depth to the story.The message being conveyed about tolerance was clear so that children could see it but it wasn't beat you over the head so adults wouldn't feel like it was too sugary sweet.
