Shakespeare Makes the Playoffs

(1) YA Writer/first baseman/eighth grader Kevin (Shakespeare Bats Cleanup) takes on more challenging poetic forms as well as romantic complications. Baseball, of course, remains a fixed point, as his team heads to the playoffs. Koertge's pleasing variety of verse is a seamless fit for his story and characters. Kevin's ponderings of form and style unobtrusively help inform readers less familiar with poetic technique.
