Ok, not the greatest story ever, but a really good book to get a reluctant (reader) 7-year-old baseball fan to read. My son and I take turns reading every other page. And I like the message of this book -" ...try, try again" or "practice makes perfect" - something along those lines.

This is a good example of realistic fiction because it tells a story in a contemporary setting and relates to kids culturally. Robertito is a round character because he is well developed and changes during the story.
