The review below is by my kid-sis and the book is at a middle-grade level.
I read the book “Two Strikes” by Johnny Boateng. It is an amazing book that I really loved.
The description in this book really made me think the book was mediocre, but it was an amazing, inspiring book. In the book a girl named KaLeah is mixed (part black and part white) and is held back because of it. She loves baseball and is really good at it. But when she moves, all of this begins to tumble. Only a few people are pumping her up to go to first base and take a huge step. When I was reading this I noticed it was part romance, part sport. I really liked this because I personally love romance and anything mixed together.
The detail in this book was so good that it was hard to believe. Though I don’t know much about baseball the book taught me a lot about the sport. I was certainly impressed with how advanced the speaking parts were in this very talented, vibrant, impressive, book. I hope to see a series come from it. I hope that the author Johnny will continue writing amazing books just like this awesome one.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book Via NetGalley.
