The Boys From Brooklyn: The Great Robbery. Salvatore Tomasi. 148 pages. Ages 10-14. Your son won't be able to put down this entertaining story of eight boys getting themselves into all sorts of predicaments. It's the summer of 1974. Nicky and his friends are typical young teenage boys growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y. The summertime living is easy and filled with fun, laughs and drama: Stickball. Johnny on the Pony. The fireworks. Terror in the train yard. Fights. Yes, the summertime living is easy until Tommy dares the boys to do something risky. Something that can screw them up for the rest of their lives. Themes such as friendship, competing, father-son relations, mom’s guiding hand, ratting on your friends, and “doing the right thing” unfold in a real life and boy-friendly style. Your son will connect with Nicky, Frankie, Abe, Rob, Tommy, Zach, Victor and Jimmy. He might even learn an important lesson about peer pressure, but don’t tell him!

The Babe Ruth Story, by Babe Ruth. 244 pages. Ages 10 and up. How could your son not love a book that starts out by declaring: “I was a bad kid.” If he loves baseball, or likes to learn about the great sports legends, he will never forget this book. This is the story of Ruth’s life, written by arguably the greatest sports legend that will ever live. Your son will feel like Ruth is speaking directly to him. This book has that kind of power. Ruth’s book covers it all. His troubled childhood in Baltimore. Being raised by St. Mary’s Industrial School for boys, because his parents gave up on him. Ruth’s description of Brother Matthias: “The greatest man I ever met.” Your son will be in awe of Ruth’s life. He will be engrossed by Ruth's colorful stories about his monstrous home runs, World Series games and various shenanigans. He will be amazed at the wild adventures and the intensity that the game was played at. The fights on the field. This was baseball at its best. No steroids. Just pure pride. Ruth had a soft spot in his heart for kids. He would routinely visit sick kids in the hospital. One of those boys credited his recovery from a severe illness to Ruth. After your son reads this book, he’ll know why Ruth dedicated his book to the kids of America. He won’t be able to stop telling his friends about it. We only stock the version that contains actual photos in the middle of the book.
