Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 6-8-A sweetly told story about the budding friendship between two young people and their understanding of one another's differences. Bogie is a blind teenager with a lot of insight when it comes to taking chances, seeing the world, and eventually mastering the game of golf. Birdie has asthma and lacks the confidence even to ride a bike, until she finds her purpose: assisting Bogie with his game. When they consider the idea of entering a golf tournament, Bogie's family secrets are divulged, helping to clear up some of the mysteries surrounding his mother's death and his father's lack of interest in golf. This novel's appeal is enhanced by humorous, lively dialogue; the innocence of the main characters; and the positive portrayal of their relationship and disabilities. An interesting read.-Hope Marie Cook, Eastern Connecticut State University, Willimantic (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
