Hard Ball

The book HARD BALL by Will Weaver is I think one of the best books I have every read. The main character is Billy Baggs he live on a farm with a well loving mother but his dad sometime seems like he doesn't love him and is an abusive father. Billy is 14;he lives on the farm, and loves to play baseball. He is a pitcher for his farm, which is not a real legal they just play the town team. He is also hopping to pitch for his school team. His has had a big crush on this girl that he think he has no chance with. After they go to a baseball game together they start to like each other. The thing is the girl Billy likes (Suzy) is protected by the one person Billy true hates. Suzy grew up with a king Kenwood and less just say Billy and king's family don't get a long well. King catches Billy and Suzy making out in Billy's barn and king and Billy have a big fight over it. The coach and both of the kids parents decided that the best for this not to happen again was to make them become friends so they had to spend more time together so they had to suspend the whole week together which include of sleeping over at each others houses. But this would never help the fathers become friends because they were enemies as well. The author used the many literary elements some of the ones were similes metaphors and those were the only ones I picked up on.

great stuff! a buch of baseball action, sex, and a big battle in the bulpen.

This has to be one of the best novels I've ever read. I'm only a mild reader, so to find a book this pleasing is very unusual for me. I would definitely suggest to everyone, but especially those who enjoy a great plotline and an excellent mixture of topics.

This is the best baseball book in the series of Billy Baggs. I would recommend it to 5th graders through 9th graders. It has some bad words, but the story is creative. Baseball fans would love it. All my friends who liked baseball had it. I started reading and couldn't stop. I finished in a week because it is great! Will Weaver has wrote the best baseball book.

I loved the book. It kept me interested the whole way through. I'm gonna read more books by Will Weaver.
