Description
The Hero Two Doors Down is a heartwarming novel based on the true story of an unlikely friendship between a boy and a baseball legend. In 1948, a young boy named Stephen Satlow lives in a Brooklyn neighborhood where he spends most of his time reading about his favorite team, the Dodgers. When he hears a rumor that an African American family is moving in next door, he is excited to meet his hero, Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in baseball the previous year.
As the baseball season begins, Stephen is thrilled to discover that his new neighbor is indeed Jackie Robinson. Despite some initial hesitation from his neighbors, Stephen is eager to get to know Jackie and learn more about his life and experiences. This chance encounter becomes a special friendship that changes Stephen's life forever.
