Boys Don't Knit - T. S. Easton
Everybody knows soccer players don’t like knitting. Or at least that’s what Ben Fletcher has to tell himself when he lands in a knitting class and ends up falling in love with it. He’s aided in his quest to keep his enjoyment of the hobby hidden by the fact that the class is a punishment for a night that involved alcohol and a crossing guard. But when he gets himself entangled in a knitting competition things begin to unravel. By the end of T.S. Easton’s fun and witty coming-of-age novel, you might no longer believe that Boys Don’t Knit (Feiwel & Friends, $16.99). Ages 12-14. Sharat Buddhavarapu
