Brook’s Book Nook: Blind Your Ponies

 

I just reread this book. I first read it a few years ago and I loved it. I was in a book club and one of the other members couldn’t stop talking about how great it was. I have to say that I turned into that person after I read it. I gave it as Xmas gifts to my reader friends. After I first read it, I came away from it wanting to be a better person. It’s that kind of book.

Having now reread it, it didn’t have quite the same impact, but it was still great and like revisiting old friends. It’s about a small town basketball team, but it’s about so much more than that. We always want to root for the underdog to win and definitely there is an underdog here to root for.
