Under the Baseball Moon by John H. Ritter

I've read this book a couple of times. Even though it's written for young adults and I am an adult, I've always felt that I don't fully understand everything about the story. UNDER THE BASEBALL MOON is about a kid who plays the trumpet and rides his skateboard and has a very weird, very complicated friendship with a girl who loves baseball. There's a bit of a love story... there's some soul-selling to the devil... and there's some magic. The end of the book continues to baffle me, but the majority of the book is quite enjoyable.

Wacky, sometimes delightfully and sometimes frustratingly.

The teenage, Latino, trumpet-playing version of the Robert Johnson myth, which I have an incredible soft spot for. Not really about baseball, more about the relationship between Andres, the trumpet player mentioned above, and his girlfriend, the softball pitcher and their ability to inspire each other through their preferred activities (trumpet-playing and pitching). Some of the characters are caricatures, making them somewhat unrealistic, but overall, I really enjoyed the book
