The Brooklyn Nine

By: Alan Gratz

Narrated by: Ryan Burke

Baseball is in the Schneider family blood. Each member of this family, from family founder Felix Schneider in the 1800s to Snider Flint in the present day, has a strong tie to the game and to Brooklyn. Through the years, this family has dodged bullets on a battlefield, pitched perfect games, and dealt with the devastating loss of family and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Nine innings - nine generations. One game - one family. Through it all, one thing remains true: The bonds of family are as strong as a love of the game.

Amassing book I loved it

It was one of my favorite books it was so detailed and the title was right in two ways

Something different

I really liked this book. I read a lot of baseball books but this one had a different quality to it. Would highly recommend it, even to people who aren’t baseball fans.

A family tied together through baseball

Alan Gratz created brief looks into the lives of the Snyder family and their descendants. He wove the stories together through historical events and familial trials. I enjoyed it even though I don't know much about baseball.

For the love of baseball

Alan writes the best stories and this did not disappoint! A wonderful baseball story for boys and girls.
