The Perfect Game, by William Winokur is worth your read! LionsGate, a movie company put this into a movie over a year ago, and we are still waiting for its release! Originally set to come out in 2008, here we are in July 2009, and LionsGate is mum on a release date. For more about that...click here.
Based on a true story, the 342 page book is an inspiration, and I am working this summer to have The Perfect Game district-board approved for our public high schools.
I pray that there is no opposition to approval, although the next hurdle will be funding the classroom copies. Funding for new copies of books has always been an issue, all the years of my teaching. Never enough $ for the English classroom, but $ for athletics, science tables, technology computers and smart boards...but books?
Maybe someday my students will have a Kindle in their hands!
