Title: Inappropriate Sexual Allusions for Pre-Teen Book
Review: This grade-school level book has painfully obvious sexual allusions that are completely inappropriate for the target audience. Here is the deal: Hero likes girl. Hero's best friend likes girl too. Best friend wants girl to find "convict" baseballs for him. Hero becomes obsessed with the idea that the girl will help his friend find the balls. Hero searches diligently to find the balls himself. Hero finds a "gap" in a fence that he repeatedly sneaks through to find balls. Hero has a dream that his friend has found the "gap" and is using it.I mean really--is this sort of blatant allusion to sex necessary for a grade school level book?
