(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Casey's dad runs a school for umpires, so "people always assumed I was going to be an umpire when I got older." But Casey dreams of a career writing about baseball instead. Sports fans will appreciate the original setting; Casey is a well-realized character, and his anger at his mother for his parents' divorce broadens the novel's scope.
