Alexandra, also known as Al, has been playing baseball with her older brothers for as long as she can remember. But when she ages out of Little League, it seems like it’s the end of the road for Al and the sport she loves. Until, that is, her friend Sammy suggests that Al try out for the middle school team—a team that has always been boys-only. 

Al is prepared to fight for her right to try out, but to her surprise, the coach is delighted by her interest. When Al makes the team, it seems like everything is going to work out. But with a tenth consecutive championship on the line for Brinkley Middle School and a team that can’t seem to get along, will their season ground out faster than Al can say “home run”?

This was such a great follow-up to book one, Picture Day! It took me a second to realize that this book is about Viv’s friend, Al, from book one, but I immediately fell back into the happenings at Brinkley Middle School! I loved the witty banter and the drawings were phenomenal as usual! I loved seeing them all come together at the end of the story. I can’t wait to see book 3! I hope it’s from Milo’s POV!
