He writes great sports books for kids.

Like I said I am not a big sports fan, but I know people are.

Melissa – I’ll have to check out Mudville, I do like fantasy. Thanks for the recommendation.

It was baseball with a sorta fantasy spin.

And struggles a bit with reading?

Not that I have anyone specific in mind or anything….
:D
