- Synopsis
- A heartwarming graphic novel about a baseball-obsessed 7th grader, trying to find her place in the sports world and her family.In their tiny corner of Fox Point, Rhode Island, Gemma Hopper&’s older brother, Teddy, is a baseball god, destined to become a Major League star. Gemma loves playing baseball, but with her mom gone and her dad working endless overtime, it&’s up to her to keep the house running. She&’s too busy folding laundry, making lunches, getting her younger twin brothers to do their homework, and navigating the perils of middle-school friendships to take baseball seriously. But every afternoon, Gemma picks up her baseball glove to pitch to Teddy during his batting practice--throwing sliders down and away, fastballs right over the middle (not too fast or he&’ll get mad), and hanging curveballs high and tight. Could baseball be Gemma&’s ticket to the big leagues or will it mean the end of her family as she knows it?
