Relation Toward Books Edward's Eyes
Jake is a part of an extraordinary family. He has a life filled with art, music, and long summer nights on the Cape. He has hours and days and months of baseball. But, more than anything in this world, Jake knows he has Edward. From the moment he was born, Jake knew Edward was destined for something. Edward could make anyone laugh and everyone think. During one special year, he became the only one in the neighborhood who could throw a perfect knuckleball. It was a pitch you could not hit. That same year, Jake learned there are also some things you cannot hold.Patricia MacLachlan, one of the most beloved children's book authors writing today, has painted a deeply stirring, delicately lyrical portrait of a child, a son, a family, and a brother. Through Edward's eyes, we see what gifts all of these things truly are to those around them, and how those gifts live on and grow.

Read this book yesterday after school. It took about an hour to read it. If you are looking for a quick read - this is the book for you. It is sorta sad at the end, but uplifting also. Another one of the Charlie May Simon series.I loved this one too- it's very short and the story is very simple, but also profound.

Edward and him had a very STRONG connection. Got so much anecdotes in the book. Plus, Edward was going to give Sabine a hat the shows Edward's love for baseball. My classmates and I loved it!
I heard it was sad. But that?! Help me! :(
Edward was born into an amazing family, with his best friend, his older brother here to raise him and teach him everything he needs to know about the world. Between baseball and imagination, Edward and his brother Jake have a pretty basic story. That is until, Their parents start holding them at higher level of responsibility, and they have to face the fact that its time to grow up and that they don't always have time to be little kids anymore. However, this still doesn't stop the adventurous

From the moment he was born, Jake knew Edward was destined for something. Edward could make anyone laugh and everyone think. And Edward's eyes. They were so beautiful, you could spend hours staring at them. During one special year, he became the only one in the neighborhood who could throw a perfect
