Summary of The Brooklyn Nine Summary of The Brooklyn Nine Reviews for The Brooklyn Nine An Excerpt from The Brooklyn Nine
Baseball is in the Schneider family blood. Each member of this family, from family founder Felix Schneider in the 1800s to Snider Flint in the present day, has a strong tie to the game and to Brooklyn. Through the years this family has dodged bullets on a battlefield, pitched perfect games, and dealt with the devastating loss of family and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Nine innings - nine generations. One game - one family. Through it all, one thing remains true: the bonds of family are as strong as a love of the game.

"Gratz builds this novel upon a clever enough conceit - nine stories (or innings), each following the successive generations in a single family, linked by baseball and Brooklyn - and executes it with polish and precision." - Booklist, starred review
