A good book!

Review by Edina

If you are in need of a good book, I totally recommend GET A GRIP VIVY COHEN. Vivy has autism and is an incredible knuckleball pitcher. With the help and advice of Vincent James Capello, a professional knuckleball pitcher, Vivy is able to play baseball on a real team, not just play catch with her brother. Do you think Vivy has what it takes to play baseball on a real team? Read GET A GRIP VIVY COHEN to find out.

Amazing!

Review by OraS

Good for people who like baseball. I like how it’s totally in letters and I like how it switches between Vivy and VJ’s perspectives. I was disappointed when it came to an end.

Great book

Review by RuffRuff

I liked this book a lot. I have read it multiple times. I really liked Vivy’s perseverance and bravery. I also liked how, even though sometimes she and VJ didn’t get along, they both ended up growing from each other. Also, even though the book is written in a letter format, which sometimes makes me feel depressed (I don’t know why) this one was great and I didn’t even notice until my mom pointed it out.

Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen!

Review by book_bee

I found this book very inspiring: Vivy is autistic but it doesn't stop her from pursuing her dream to be a pitcher on a baseball team. It is an interesting read because it's written as letters between Vivy and a famous baseball player.

Get a Grip Vivy Cohen

Review by naiwin18

I really like this book. Vivy ,an autistic girl is determined to pitch in a baseball team. She starts to write to VJ Capello for a homework assignment, and can't stop writing back! I couldn't stop reading Get a Grip Vivy Cohen. I was really sad when it was over.
