Kirkus
Simple in its storytelling, strong in its diversity, this is an entertaining as well as enlightening read. --Kirkus Reviews
ALA/Booklist
The youngest, smallest kid on each team, Mo works hard to learn and improve his skills. Who could begrudge this unlikely sports hero the good luck that comes his way in each book? Not a kid who's working hard to master a similarlycomplex, difficult challenge: learning to read. --Booklist
School Library Journal
Another winning title in the popular series. --School Library Journal
