The novel that Kirkus Reviews raved about, https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/william-elliott-hazelgrove/the-pitcher/ saying " The Pitcher is a an engaging, well-written sports story with plenty of human drama—this one is a solid hit." has been steadily moving along as readers discover the feel good story of a mother who will do anything for son to get his dream of playing on the high school team. The interesting thing about the novel is that William Hazelgrove is not Hispanic. "Peopel have brought this up to me but I think once you get the voice then you have the book," the author said citing his previous novels with African American characters. "Voice is everything and once I found Ricky I never let go."
The Pitcher is only eighteen spots away from the top of the pack The House on Mango Street, a Latino classic. But like the chracters in The Pitcher who must overcome all odds to get their dreams, this novel might have a shot as well. William Hazelgrove is the author of five novels, Ripples, Tobacco Sticks, Mica Highways, Rocket Man and The Pitcher. More information can be found at http://www.williamhazelgrove.com
