When I started reading Saving Armpit by Natalie Hyde I thought it was going to be about a camp. But, it turned out to be a book about a community coming together to make a change. The difference was that most of the community had no idea that change was taking place. I especially liked that it was the kids who banded together to write letters to bring about change. Working towards a cause can have consequences you didn’t even see! Fans of baseball will definitely enjoy this book and the changes that the team goes through. For those that don't like baseball- if you like to see people working together and making the world a better place, this is a book that you will really get into. I liked seeing the surprising things that happened once the kids started writing letters, and I also enjoyed reading the letters sprinkled throughout the book. This story will be enjoyed by kids in third grade and up. It gave me some ideas of letters I could write to make a difference in my community. Maybe I will be able to make some positive changes happen too! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Juvenile Fiction.
HTML: When vandals deface the Harmony Point sign, the town does indeed seem to become the "arm Pit" of the region. The baseball team hasn't won a game in two seasons and the town itself is falling into disrepair. But when the new postmaster becomes the ball coach, Clay and the rest of the Terriers finally seem to stand a chance of winning a game. Until they overhear a bureaucrat from the city say that the post office will close unless the "numbers" work out. The team begins "Operation Tennis Elbow" - a letter writing campaign designed to generate enough mail to keep the post office - and its postmaster - in town (and coaching their baseball team). And along the way, they learn the power of the pen in effecting positive changes in their community. .No library descriptions found. |

Saving Armpit is a story that centers around the baseball team, just 10 kids, who try to keep their new baseball coach, and maybe even save their town. A lofty goal, but these kids are determined. That's what I loved the most about this book. It's about overcoming adversity and making little changes that could add up to big changes. The characters were all well written and fun, and the book was a quick read because of this.
I enjoyed this book very much and highly recommend it.
5/5 stars.
I received a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion. ( )
