New York Times bestselling author Tim Green delivers another exciting baseball tale that will keep kids on the edge of their seats. Perfect for fans of Mike Lupica.
Tommy Rust is a pro at being the new kid. So when his dad marches onto his baseball field, he knows that time is up. In his new town, he goes by the name Brock, and he's having a hard time fitting in. And being friends with the bully from the wrong side of the tracks isn't helping. But thanks to a prank gone wrong, the baseball coach of the travel-team notices Brock's skills and offers him a place on his failing baseball team. But can Brock prove himself on and off the field before he strikes out and becomes the new kid...again?
- A Father-Son Story: Brock's dad is always on the run, pulling him out of towns just when he starts to feel at home. But the secrets he's hiding are more dangerous than Brock could ever imagine.
- Dealing with Bullies: Brock is the new kid, but he refuses to be pushed around. When he stands up to the school bully, Ryan Nagel, he starts a fight that might just end in a surprising friendship.
- Starting Over: Tommy Rust is gone. In his new town, he's Brock Nickerson, a kid trying to fly under the radar. Can he keep his real identity--and his incredible baseball talent--a secret?
- A Coming of Age Story: More than just a game, this is a story about finding your voice, choosing your friends, and learning what it means to be part of a team when your whole life is temporary.
