Unfortunately, that’s not the only figurative curveball being thrown at Peter, either. Baseball has been his life up until this point, and he figured it would continue to define him as he transitioned to his high school career. The summer before he starts high school, life begins to change for Peter Friedman the moment he suffers a significant injury to his pitching arm. And with Curveball: The Year I Lost My Grip, he has once again created a piece of realistic fiction that portrays a teenaged character with sensitivity, complexity, heart, and a bunch of laughs. When I heard several months ago that he would be releasing his next YA novel in March, I literally marked my calendar. When I first read After Ever After (linked to my 5 Star Reads review), I didn’t realize it was a sequel (of sorts), and I immediately searched out the book that had proceeded it- Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie. ![]() ![]() I have to start by saying that I am an unabashed fan of Jordan Sonnenblick’s young adult fiction.
