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.

This was such an amazing book! I love that it was in letters. I couldn’t stop reading it and was sad when it was over. This is a great book!

Such a wonderful, original story!

Review by LTinuviel

Whether you're a baseball expert or a casual player like me, you'll love this amazing book, which is told in the form of letters. Vivian writes to her favorite professional baseball player without ever expecting him to write back, and they forge a supportive friendship that helps Vivian to succeed as the first girl on a baseball team in her area (as opposed to a softball team). But the help and advice aren't one-sided; Vivian ends up inspiring her famous friend too. After you read this great book, you'll want to be a knuckleball pitcher too! Knuckles up!
