From School Library Journal
Grade 5 Up-A comprehensive manual that would be helpful for any novice bowlers. Nace clearly and carefully explains equipment; etiquette; warm-up exercises; the delivery; scoring; and various techniques for making strikes, spares, and splits. He includes such fine points as how to read lane conditions, correct problems, and mentally prepare for competitions. The excellent-quality, full-color photos and diagrams are key to the instructions. No other book covers the sport so well for this audience. It scores a definite strike.

From Booklist
Gr. 6-12. In the 3,000 years since humans first bowled, the simple game of knocking pins over with a ball has thrilled and frustrated millions of people. Nace's introduction to the sport begins with an overview of bowling etiquette, scoring, and a laundry list of the "extras" bowlers may want to acquire to improve their scores. Beginning bowlers will find much helpful information in the meticulously detailed description of ball delivery, including full-color captioned photos of a perfect approach and release of the ball. The text and illustrations may be dry, but plenty of kids just want to bowl well enough to prevent embarrassment at the lanes (especially on first dates), and this handbook will provide a nice start. With few books for young bowlers available, this one deserves a spot on the shelf. John Green
