Title:  Throwing Smoke
Author:  Bruce Brooks
Reviewer:   Doug B. '10
I recommend Throwing Smoke, by Bruce Conville, to readers who like baseball. The book is about a boy named Mac who plays on the worst baseball team.  He is 12 years old and he also is the coach of the team.  He works at the printing press place. Then he makes these cards - the first one is Ace Jones. Ace becomes the best pitcher in the leauge but they are still losing. So he goes back and makes a great hitter named Diana. But their team is still making a lot of errors. So then Mac makes Max and Marty, who are the best fielders in the league. But when they lose Ace, Diana Max, and Marty all get mad.
