Reviews

Michiko is endearing, and readers who persevere will rejoice with her victories big and small.
*Booklist*

A historically accurate story about being an outsider, family values and the ability of sports to bring people together.
*School Library Journal*

A fast-paced, intriguing read. Highly recommended.
*Canadian Materials*

Michiko is a wonderful character trying to find her place in an often racist Canada, obeying her strict but loving parents, supported by cultural traditions and fiercely passionate about baseball.
*Resource Links*

Maruno tells an almost uniquely Canadian story as we see how different cultural communities interact, as well as the challenges many first- and second-generation Canadians encounter, issues that are still relevant today.
*Canadian Children's Book News*
