Soar by Joan Bauer

Soar
I listened to the audio version of this Texas Bluebonnet Award winning book.  It is a touching story and I think that kids will enjoy it.  Eleven year old Jeremiah is a heart transplant recipient and while he is doing well, he is unable to play sports.  An avid baseball fan, he has decided to be a coach and has the opportunity to coach a middle school baseball team in the new town that he and his adoptive father move to.  Even though I am not a sports fan, I still enjoyed this book and it helped me to better appreciate the role of sports in the lives of the people who do enjoy them.  The book is inspirational and a fun read.  I will definitely recommend this book to others.
