A book for kids both young and old

I am a college student, with an undying love for baseball. An old coach recommended it and i could not put it down. It's easy enough for any child to read, and entertaining enough for any baseball lover-no matter what age! It touches on all of the real issues of a little leaguer and how they feel. I felt like i was being transported back into my little league dugout. Then the magic of the story is an added bonus. This book is a "must read," and will be finding itself a home on every sports lovers bookshelf in the very near future. Wow what a book! Great Job Mr. Bosworth! You are a great author and a true baseball story hero!!!

my son's favorite book

i purchased this book for my 9 year old fanatic baseball fan of a son last Christmas. It was then, and remains still, his favorite book ever. I truly hope that Mr. Bosworth has more books just like it.

This is Baseball Fiction at its Best

Finally a sports fiction for both children and adults. The Box Seat Dream touches the heart and soul of anyone who has ever played baseball or any sport for that matter. My son is not an avid reader but loves to play ball. He couldn't put this book down. He even brought it to the dinner table. I loved it as well. Exciting baseball games, realistic life obstacles, skills learning and fantasy all wrapped up in one book. Mark my words, this story will one day become a movie. If books were honored in the Baseball Hall of Fame, The Box Seat Dream would be inducted. It is that good!

Great Story, Easy Reading

Great book not only about baseball, but also about working hard and doing the right thing. It's easy to read and once you pick it up, it's hard to put down. I recommend it to all parents and kids involved in sports. The book's price makes it affordable to everyone.

Bosworth captures the essence of dreaming for every age!

Once I started reading the " The Box Seat Dream " I couldn't put the book down. The book goes through the life of a young boy, Jimmy, who dreams of one day playing for the New York Yankees. Through Jimmy's dreams, you see how Jimmy sets out to accomplish his goal.While reading the book it felt as if the story was true to life and that you're not reading a book but living the story.I think everyone should read this book, especially children. It shows us that dreams don't have to be just dreams.It is a very inspirational story for all ages.
