Another Take on the Yankees
We seem to be entering a renaissance when it comes to baseball and young adult books. Paul Haven has a new one coming out in the Spring from Random House: Two Hot Dogs with Everything. It's about a minor league team that isn't that good, the boys that love them and a house that harbors a secret - and some magic bubblegum?
For the 8-12 crowd (particularly boys who are notoriously hard to find books for), this will be probably be a winner. I was intrigued by the author's bio though - Haven is the AP Bureau Chief in Islamabad, Pakistan. That can't be an easy job. He's a lifelong fan of the Yankees so I'm sure that a lot of the book is based on his growing up years and love for the game. I think it's pretty cool that the guy is spending his spare moments writing about baseball. I wish the Yankees had a clue just how important they are to fans all over the world who need them so much.
