This book is an interesting book. Unlike many young adult books that I read, this book is told from the perspective of someone who is neither female nor a teenager. Mickey Vernon makes an effective narrator and his family and friends are equally lovable background characters. This book is about pool, with a side plot of how pool is related to math, and of course other plot lines based on the relationships between characters. All of Joan Bauer's books have been fun to read and leave you with a feeling similar to that of watching a "feel-good" movie.
