Boys in Control

There is a great book called The Boys in Control, and the author is Pyllis Reynolds Naylor. This story is sort of about baseball. A girl named Eddie joins a boys base ball team as the pitcher. There is a boy named Jake and he plays pitcher as well. He wants to be the only picther so he want Eddie to do a bad job so he can be the only picther. I just think that it will be a good book for boys and girls to read.

Out of the whole series, this one is the best by far. Maybe not the best of Naylor's, but very close. It certianly is better than most of the children books where it's all, meet boy/girl-boy/girl has problem-boy/girl struggles- boy/girl finds solution. They really are boring books. Now let me give you the storyline of what's happening. - The girls find an old album that used to belong to the Bensons. It contained very funny, and embarassing pictures of the Hartford and Benson boys. - The boys find out and are VERY embarassed, and plan on getting it back, one way or another. - Jake and Eddie are on the baseball team. - On the day of the championship, Mrs.Hartford by mistake volunteered to run a charity sale of some sort. - Since Mr. and Mrs.Hartford are Jake's parents, they have to go to the championship. - Since Josh is Jake's twin, he has to go to the championship. - Since Peter is too young to help with the sale, he's going to the championship. - Who's left?

Fans of Phyllis Naylor's "Boys Against The Girls" series will delight in the new Boys In Control, which continues the saga of the Hatford boys and the Malloy girls at war. Here a thwarted baseball game turns into another competition between boys in girls in this story of war and underlying friendships, with more than a dash of humor.
