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.

Get a Grip Vivy Cohen is a really great book. I have ADHD and Autism and I can do some pretty cool things just like Vivy Cohen. Definitely recommend it, really awesome book. Vivy Cohen had to persevere a lot in this book, but she never gave up.

Review by meirasara

This book is amazing. The author does a great job at showing her struggle. I absolutely love how it is written in letters between Vivy and the baseball player.

Amazing book!!

Review by Prendacto

This is about a girl with autism, who wants to be on a baseball team, even though her mother doesn’t think she can handle it. She sends a letter to a famous baseball player, and with his advice, she joins a baseball team. How will she face the challenges of being on an all boys sports team? Read GET A GRIP, VIVY COHEN to find out. This is a great book, and I LOVED it, even though I don’t play sports.
