(4) 4-6 With Kevin Cowherd. Like many other sports novels for middle graders, this one involves a good athlete with a bad problem: in this case, baseball player Connor's impulsiveness and volatile temper. Not surprisingly, he learns to get a grip by the end of the book. The story, "loosely based on a challenge Cal Ripkin, Jr. once faced," will entertain his fans.
