Overview
Matt Bainter is a star center fielder and a middle child who idolizes his older brother, Tom. While Tom undergoes bone cancer treatment, Matt lives in a new town and plays on a far inferior baseball team just to be near his ailing brother. He can’t admit that Tom might die, and his rage starts to take control of him when he falls into a deep batting slump. With the help of his tough coach, Matt eventually owns up to his feelings, and by the end both he and Tom are holding at third, on their way to home plate. Terrific baseball action, humor, and unique characters make this novel unforgettable.Book Details
