Tickle the Light is a compelling tale of bad breaks, second chances, tough choices and the road to redemption. It is an entertaining story that will definitely make you think.

A riveting tale about baseball and family. There’s nothing better.

I love this book.

Since enjoying Mike Looney's first novel, Heroes are Hard to Find, we have been waiting for a follow up and Tickle the Light does not disappoint. It's another fun read that will have you looking forward to Mike's next book.

Tickle the Light is much more than just a sports novel, it is a mystery within an inspirational story, wrapped in a sports novel. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and could not wait to turn the next page.

—Timm Matthews, Host-CBS Radio Dallas

Tickle the Light has a little of Kinsella, Grisham, and Mark Harris all rolled into one.  It’s a great tale of good versus evil on and off the baseball diamond with memorable characters and lots of plot twists and turns. Tickle the Light is simply a worthy addition to the baseball fiction genre.
