Summaries and Reviews
Summary
When the local newspaper goes on strike, the town is divided as friends and family members take sides, yet Gwen doesn't like what she sees and so plans to use her softball team as a first step to getting everyone to communicate once again. Reader's Guides available.
(view table of contents)Amazon.com description: Product Description: Gwen intends to spend the summer playing softball and hanging out with her cousin/best friend Jess. But the town newspaper strike throws all her plans upside down. As the union-versus-management tensions escalate, ripping the town in two, so do the tensions within Gwen's softball team and even within her own family. Uncle Dave is management; Dad is union. And once the battle lines have been drawn, they're almost impossible to erase. But Gwen insists on trying. After all, everything depends on it.
Amy Goldman Koss has been widely praised for her "humor and insight" (The Horn Book) and "sensitive and imaginative characters" (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books). She's in perfect form with Strike Two, proving herself again as the heir apparent to Judy Blume.
