Why was John having so many concussions?
The Westinghouse High School Bulldogs were legendary. So was their coach, whose championship record made him a guru to other coaches on how to turn young bodies to iron…. Then there were the actual players, John Brewer among them, some highly talented, some simply courageous, paying the actual price of winning at any cost. Then there were the ex-players, most of them, standing on street corners, faking old handoffs with a bottle of wine. What was really going on in that “champion” high school team? And what was going on in its “Room” that no Bulldog seemed willing to talk about?
An inspiring, triumphant memoir of father and son that every young player, coach, and parent should read.

“Peanuts don’t talk…or do they? [A] charming story of friendship from the perspective of one Dr. Peanut [who] encounters giants (human children) who…may turn him into a quick snack. But he is delightfully surprised…. [C]ute drawings.” –Reviewer’s Choice, Children’s Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review

“[A] magical book, a unique fairy tale of a brother and sister, trees sprouting overnight from seeds, and ‘talking’ marionettes. As a read-aloud or as a read-on-your-own book, this story is so unusual that it pulls you from one page to the next.
“I confess I wasn’t sure what to make of a story whose premise is a mother and father sailing away on a steamer with a pair of pigs a few days after their twin children are born. Why leave the twins behind? This question (and many more) begged to be answered, and I read the book in one sitting. The story moved in a lyrical, old-fashioned, fairy-tale way, and I was carried along on the twins’ journey, amazingly, [to an] ending that surprised me.
Take Me With You When You Go is for ages 6-10, but older children who like odd fairy tales will enjoy it too. The brown-tint illustrations also contribute to the old-fashioned appeal of the story. I found myself looking ahead to see the next picture.” — Susan K. Marlow, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
