Newbery Honor Book 2013
An eleven-year-old boy throws the meanest fastball in Memphis, but talking is another ball game altogether. He struggles with a stuttering problem that makes even his own name almost impossible to say. When he takes over his friend's paper route for a month he knows he will be forced to talk to people. This is an amazing story about an amazing boy. This books has changed the way I understand and think about individuals with speech difficulties.
