			        		Praise for PLUNKED"An uncommonly thoughtful baseball novel." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY"Well-developed characters and a strong narrative voice make this novel about much more than baseball. . . . Pitch-perfect." --SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL"Readers will appreciate this down-to-earth sports story that stays within its game, offering . . . a realistic story rooted in the writer's knowledge of the game and what it means to its young players." --KIRKUS REVIEWS"What Northrop does particularly well here is to dig into the deep, complex psychology of an at-bat, where there's so much more going on than a simple meeting or missing of a ball and bat." --BOOKLIST

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Lesson In Overcoming!
  

*by W***2 on December 25, 2017*









  
  
    A great story for children and a reminder for adults that legitimate fear can paralyze one's life. Deeper than that, this child started out as self-centered while not a mean person he was not really a team player. The beautiful parts are how his friend helped him with non-judgmental advice and his parents did not overreact to his lies to avoid playing the game. Plunked is a story of resilience and transformation.
  


### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I liked out overall
  

*by R***E on November 22, 2013*









  
  
    I overall liked the book. It was a good story and I thought the main character was a likable person. I . Just wished it would have had a more Interesting climax. But I liked it overall
  


### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Below expectations
  

*by W***K on June 30, 2015*









  
  
    I had high hopes for this book as it is on a list of nominees for our state reading award. I was not impressed. The story line is flat. The characters are underdeveloped. The climax is weak with so little excitement and way too much build up.
