    John Roberts Tunis

    Hardcover (Harcourt, Brace & World, Aug. 16, 1941)
    It was a foregone conclusion that "the Kid from Tomkinsville" should go on to glory in another book; the Connecticut rookie who made good with the Dodgers could not be stopped in mid-career. But as a sequel World Series is in a class by itself; self-contained, not needing the background of the first book. Baseball and the World Series says it all.

    John Roberts Tunis

    Hardcover (Morrow, Aug. 16, 1954)
    Ridgewood's championship hopes have been dashed when they are replaced by the B team. This is shown in breathless basketball sequences. What happened to the coach has its climax in an unforgettable town meeting where Little Tom spoke for the outraged citizenry and Mary Jo for Hooks' loyal high school supporters. What happened to Little Tom is the resolving factor of this absolutely first rate story of sport and young manhood and true values. "If there is a better story about basketball that gives more insight into the skills and refinements of the game, I do not know it."--Saturday Review. "Tunis proves he is one of the best sports writers of the present day."--New York Times Book Review
