Review # 1 was written on 2017-02-24 00:00:00 Steve Moidel My daughter got this book out of a free book pile at school and I didn't expect to enjoy it much as I'm not much into tween romance or sports stories and this was both. Plus it's the sequel to a book we hadn't read. Sure enough, the beginning didn't capture my interest much, but gradually I started to like it better, mostly because the quirky characters were engaging. I do think reading the first book would have helped because a lot of it has to do with how relationships between the three main characters have changed from the previous book. (It also might clarify why one of the characters was named Swimming Pool, which goes unexplained.) There wasn't a clear central conflict, which made the book seem to meander in the middle, but it does all come together eventually. My daughter asked me at one point when the story was supposed to take place and I'd been wondering the same thing. One strand of the plot had to do with a tomboy being forced to go to charm school and that doesn't really seem contemporary but there's not much in the way of cultural detail to mark it as a period piece.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-03-07 00:00:00 James Micklewright The book I Know Who Likes You by Doug Cooney is a book about a baseball team that has gone through some ups and downs. The Comets baseball team just hired the team manager, Earnie. He doesn't have a clue in the world about how to play baseball. Just as the team started the season, the star pitcher, Swimming Pool, is being made by her mom to go to charm school. When she finds out that she doesn't pass Ms. Gingers charm school she has to make her own. Earnie on the other hand, is trying to figure out who gave him a note in his backpack. It was a funny book and I wouldn't change anything about it. I enjoyed the book. I would totally read it again. I recommend this book to any grades 3-5. It was more like a little kids book. Not really made for seventh graders.
