Review
What can I say - Matt Tavares does it again! In this latest book of wonderful verse and beautiful illustrations we are told the story of Pedro and Ramon Martinez growing up in the Dominican Republic and how they both got to play for the Redsox. We get to see what it took for Pedro to become the great success he has, winning the World Series in 2004, 3 Cy Young Awards and recently he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame! This is a story of baseball greatness, brotherly love and team work.
Overall Book Score: very good
