Title:  Choosing Up Sides
Author:  John H. Ritter
Reviewer:   Michael S. '08
Choosing Up Sides is about a boy, Luke, whose dad is a leader of a Baptist Church in Ohio, and he gives very strict rules to his son. Some of his rules are that Luke cannot play sports because sports are from the devil; and he also thinks left handers are from the devil, too. That is Luke’s problem; he is left handed, and many people say he is a very good pitcher. He even struck-out the top player in the state, who might go to the major leagues some day. Luke doesn’t know what to do. Should he follow his dad’s rules and be a righty and never play sports again? Or will he do the opposite of what his dad tells him to do and be a lefty and play sports? If you want to know, read Choosing Up Sides. You will find some happy and sad surprises. You never know what is going to happen in this story, and I do highly suggest Choosing Up Sides to everyone.
