Fast Pitch

Fast Pitch | Nic Stone

8 posts | 6 read | 2 to read

From Nic Stone, the New York Times bestselling author of Clean Getaway, comes a challenging and heartwarming coming-of-age story about a softball player looking to prove herself on and off the pitch. Shenice Lockwood has her eyes set on the Fastpitch World Series. As team captain, she'd like nothing more than to help her girls take home the trophy and the $10,000 prize money. And as one of the few brown faces on the field, it'd be a personal triumph to show-up her rich, white opponents. But Shenice's focus gets shaken when her Uncle Jack reveals that a family crime may have been a set-up all along. Shenice will stop at nothing to uncover the past. The closer she gets to the truth, though, the further she gets from her goals for the future. From the New York Times bestselling author of Clean Getaway, Nic Stone seamlessly pairs the history of the Negro Leagues with the story of a contemporary, Black tween determined to blaze a trail of her own.

Shenice 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. 🥎

Nic 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
