pickShenice is the captain of an all Black softball team headed to a championship, but she faces distraction in the form a family mystery about her great grandpa and the end of his baseball dreams. The resolution of the story was a bit abrupt, but Nic Stone does a great job of blending together a contemporary sports story and African American history. 🥎

pickNic Stone hit this one outta the park for me! (corny pun intended🤦🏻♀️) As a rabid softball player in HS, I loved getting back in the game through the experiences of 12-yr-old Shenice-captain of the first all-Black team in Georgia. So many powerful messages on friendship, discrimination, family legacy, being a team player on & off the field-all circling around Stone‘s masterful dialogue & engaging writing skills.🙌🏻

I enjoyed this book, especially the main character and her persistence. The ending was a bit rushed, but I liked the story overall. #authoramonth
Nic stone had success with her first MG novel so she is going at it again. This time a baseball book with a female lead. Yeah sports.
