In “The Big Game” by Nadenia Buntin, nine-year-old Josh Winters is excited to move close to his cousin Clint and play for the Titans—a little league team. Josh is getting comfortable with his new place, but one house in the community is not enamored with children. Josh makes a mistake and is forced to approach the house and knock on the door. What he learns will change both of their lives.
The book “The Big Game” by Nadenia Buntin was recently nominated for the 2023 Eric Hoffer Book Award, which is one of the largest international book awards for small, academic, and independent presses. This award pays tribute to the famous American philosopher Eric Hoffer’s legacy by highlighting important literature.
This story was praised by Kat Kennedy of the US Review of Book, to wit, “This short novel is a wonderful read with plenty of action and plot twists. Most of the action comes in descriptive passages concerning Josh’s little league team. Josh is a great role model for young adult and middle school readers. His sense of integrity is an endearing character trait. And even though Josh breaks a promise to his father, he still tries to do the right thing no matter how painful. Josh owns up to his father about his bad decision, and he is shocked by his dad’s reaction, “I’m proud of you for trying to do the right thing. I’m sorry Mr. Willingham would not listen to you.” Josh’s father also displays a sense of integrity and empathy. With its likable moral characters, exciting descriptions of baseball games, and a redeeming ending, this book should be an enjoyable read for older kids especially but also for readers of all ages.”
