By A Customer
This review is from: The Shortstop Who Knew Too Much (Tales from the Sandlot) (Paperback)
Dan Gutman wrote many different series such as Baseball's Greatest Games and It Came From Center Field. The Shortstop Who Knew too Much takes place in Somerville, a town in central New Jersey. The charctersin this story are Jake, who is the main character and is important to the story. His best friend known as ''Whiplash'' is another main character. This story is about when Jake and Whip had an argument because Whip hit Jake by accident in a baseball game. Now, Jake has a new talent. He can read people's minds, but his relationship with Whip is falling apart. Because he can read minds, his team is doing well because he knows what his opponents are thinking. Later during the season, he is aloud to play the championships. Jake is going one on one with Whip with the bases loaded, and he gets hit again by accident which makes him the winning run. All in all, I recommend this book highly. This is a good book to read.
