Both Maggie Fortini and her brother, Joey-Mick, were named for baseball great Joe DiMaggio. Unlike Joey-Mick, Maggie doesn't play baseball—but at almost ten years old, she is a dyed-in-the-wool fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Maggie can recite all the players' statistics and understands the subtleties of the game. Unfortunately, Jim Maine is a Giants fan, but it's Jim who teaches Maggie the fine art of scoring a baseball game. Not only can she revisit every play of every inning, but by keeping score she feels she's more than just a fan: she's helping her team. Jim is drafted into the army and sent to Korea, and although Maggie writes to him often, his silence is just one of a string of disappointments—being a Brooklyn Dodgers fan in the early 1950s meant season after season of near misses and year after year of dashed hopes. But Maggie goes on trying to help the Dodgers, and when she finds out that Jim needs help, too, she's determined to provide it. Against a background of major league baseball and the Korean War on the home front, Maggie looks for, and finds, a way to make a difference. Even those listeners who think they don't care about baseball will be drawn into the world of the true and ardent fan. Linda Sue Park's captivating story will, of course, delight those who are already keeping score.

Keine Chance für Harold? - Fußball im Mittelalter: Vom Totenkopf zum runden Leder
Was nimmt man, wenn man keinen Fußball zur Hand hat? Im Mittelalter waren es Totenköpfe oder Kuhblasen - toller Roman über die Entstehung des beliebtesten Mannschaftssport der Welt. England, 13. Jahrhundert. Harold, kaum älter als elf, fiebert seinem ersten Fußballmatch entgegen, dem Spiel gegen das Nachbardorf. Sieger soll das Dorf sein, dessen Bewohner es schaffen, die mit Luft gefüllte Kuhblase in die Mitte des anderen Dorfes zu treiben - nur mit den Füßen. Ein Match mit rund hundert Spielern, das stundenlang dauern kann und von mancherlei Zufällen abhängt - wie Weidezäunen, Schafherden, einem Bach oder dem stürmischen Nordseewind ... Harolds Großmutter kann dem neuen Sport nichts abgewinnen. Es ziemt sich nicht für einen Christenmenschen, meint sie, eine mit Luft gefüllte Kuhblase mit Füßen zu treten, die inzwischen einen dänischen Totenschädel ersetzt hat. Denn so hat sich das Spiel entwickelt, weiß die Granny zu berichten: Der Totenkopf eines der verhassten dänischen Besatzer wurde mit Füßen traktiert. Der mit Spannung erwartete Wettkampf beginnt. Tatsächlich nimmt er einen unvorhergesehenen Verlauf. Nach vielen Zwischenfällen steht der wieselflinke Harold aus Hampstead kurz vor dem Höhepunkt seiner Kickerlaufbahn. Es ist ihm gelungen, die Meute der Verfolger abzuhängen, und nun keucht er, die unberechenbar hüpfende Blase vor sich hertreibend, den ersten Hütten von Woodstock entgegen. Hampstead siegt, dank Harold! Bei einem großen Fest ist er der Held des Tages. Doch jäh wird die Siegesfeier gestört: König Heinrich II., zufällig in der Nähe auf Jagd, will sich von der Zielsicherheit seiner Woodstocker Bogenschützen überzeugen. Ist es die Aufregung? Oder sind die Männer von Woodstock wirklich außer Übung? Die Schützen versagen jedenfalls kläglich: Kein einziger Pfeil trifft die Scheibe. Schuld daran kann nur dieses neue Fußballspiel sein! König Heinrich ist erzürnt. Kurzerhand verbietet er das Spiel mit der Blase, und so bleibt einem viel versprechenden Fußballtalent des 13. Jahrhunderts wieder nur das Schafehüten. Ob sich der König eines Tages nicht doch erweichen lässt?'Dieses Buch stellt den Vergleich zwischen dem Leben im Mittelalter und heute her. Da es hauptsächlich auf historisch belegten Tatsachen beruht, hat es einen spielerischen Lerneffekt für Kinder ab zehn Jahren.' -- Skatersally (https://www.amazon.de/Keine-Chance-Harold-Fu%C3%9Fball-Mittelalter/dp/3853262708)'Wer schon immer wissen wollte wo, wie und wann Fußball erfunden wurde, der muss dieses Buch lesen!' --lele 10, bookreaders.at (http://bookreaders.at/buecher/forum/Keine-Chance-fuer-Harold)-
