For the last weekend of the summer, I have a final suggestion for summer reading. Painting the Game by Patricia MacLachlan is a great choice if you’re running out of time and need to get one more book read. It’s a quick, action-packed, friendly book about a girl who wants to learn to throw a knuckleball just like her father, who is a professional baseball pitcher. With minimal descriptions and lots of dialogue, the pages fly by and keep the reader’s interest. Fans of sports-centered stories without lots of drama on the side will surely enjoy this book.
