 Stories for Children Book 4 star Review Oct 20, 2007
By Virginia S. Grenier
"Children's Author & Stories for Children Magazine Founder & Editor-in-Chief"
This is a terrific children's book about baseball by two authors who really know the game well. As told through the eyes of 10-year old Jordan, this fictional novel takes us through Jordan's injury when a flying bat breaks his nose accidentally, to his attendance at a baseball camp where his older brother is his Counselor. In his cabin, he meets Luca, a boy from Italy that wears a hearing implant, and his sister, Niki, who's disguised as a boy so she can play centerfield for their camp team. There are high pranks going on between Jordan's cabin team, the Orioles, and a neighboring cabin, the Yankees. The book is full of baseball trivia and knowledge about the great ones, such as Cal Ripken Jr., Luis Tiant, Ty Cobb, etc. Luca helps Jordan overcome his fear of playing baseball again and teaches him a secret "knuckle-curve" pitch that Luca learned from Luis Tiant when he was in Italy. Luca also teaches Jordan many lessons about life, and taking what life throws at you, learning from it, and turning that knowledge into success. There is the use of "butts", "piss-ant", and "piss" in this story, but that's the worst of the language that a parent might find objectionable. All in all, the concentration is on relationships between the team players and the wonderful game of baseball - a very enjoyable book for anyone interested in the game and how it is really played.

Hats off for a winner! May 12, 2007
By Maribeth Callahan
You will want to put your baseball cap on and stand up proudly and tell everyone that Rally Caps is one book not to be missed.
It is a story of two baseball loving boys who become friends through their experience at summer camp. Both boys overcome those "curve balls" that life can throw at all of us, and in the end both boys realize that "nothing is impossible."
Young and old, you will love the book and it is not only appealing for baseball fans, but for anyone who has to face a physical challenge. You will laugh and cry for the characters who are brought to life with excellent prose and a plot that keeps you interested and cheering for the main characters.
Elementary and junior high teachers alike, this is one book you will want to encourage your students to read. With so many life lessons in the book, I guarantee your students will want to express themselves and relate many of the characters' experiences to their own lives.
This book is a grand slam hit!

Rally Caps - A Must Read May 03, 2007
By Mr. Charles R. Kruger
Rally Caps is a must read for all ages. It really touches the heart. If you ever went to camp, you can truly identify with the characters in the book. You can learn so much about human behavior and the will to succeed despite the obstacles that life can throw at you. You don't have to be a baseball fan to appreciate Rally Caps. Once you start reading it, you will not want to put it down.

"RALLY CAPS celebrates the game of baseball as it's meant to be played by teaching kids fundamentals and teamwork with a few entertaining old-fashioned pranks. This is one story I'll be reading with my grandchildren."
