Eleven-year-old Kate loves baseball, tennis, and writing poetry, but struggles to find joy when tragedy strikes her close-knit family.
Description:
Kate is having the best summer a sports-loving eleven-year-old could possibly have. Baseball. Tennis. And to top it off, Kate has just started a three-week class where she’s discovering a new love: poetry. Then comes the news that tears Kate’s world apart. In her close-knit family, Kate has always felt God’s love and protection. But how can she trust God now? Do sports or poetry matter when tragedy strikes? In Kate’s darkest hour, her mother’s faith shines its brightest, helping Kate to see that life is still beautiful and God is still good. Always, no matter what.

MY REVIEW
Never Blame the Umpire is a great book for younger teens. I liked the characters and storyline and it even made me cry! The book has a wonderful message that most of us need to hear. It is a very easy read and is 100% family friendly. I suspect most teen girls would be able to relate to this book and enjoy reading it.
Thanks so much to Zonderkidz for sending me a review copy of this book.
