Welcome
to the official website
of young adult baseball novelist John H. Ritter—
a world of magical realism,
historical fiction, and the stories
behind the storytelling.
After a great trip to Boston town—and a fantastic day at Fenway Park—I came back to the island of Kauai with photos and stories and feeling fully inspired to share what I learned along the way. The result, in collaboration with my entire artistic family, is this new book trailer (above) celebrating Fenway Fever. From the galactic to the personal and all points in between, this trailer will take you to places in the novel that were for me almost beyond words.
Choosing Up Sides
What if a natural lefty was forced by religion to be right-handed? Where could he go to be himself?
Over the Wall
What if an all-star shortstop's future depended upon building a Vietnam War Memorial—
to the other side?
Under the Baseball Moon
What if music could perfect a pitcher's timing? Or help a batter hit the perfect pitch?
Book I of Cruz: The Desperado Who Stole Baseball What if the ancestors of Cruz de la Cruz met up with outlaw Billy the Kid and they changed the game of baseball forever?
Book II of Cruz:
The Boy Who
Saved Baseball
What if one day a boy discovers the secret of hitting a baseball—every time?
