David Aretha, who has written or edited thirty baseball books, has just come out with his initial sports fiction work. The book -- Rounding Third, Heading Home!  -- is among the new Enslow Publishers fiction titles for the Spring 2012 season. Aretha's 112-page story, with its appealing narrative, intriguing characters, and exciting ending, is an excellent choice for readers in grades 3 through 6.
