Curveball

About this book

Roller Girl meets Cardboard Kingdom in this original, contemporary graphic novel for kids, from the New York Times best-selling and award-winning author of A Hero's Guide to Summer Vacation, Pablo Cartaya, in partnership with New York Times best-selling illustrator Miguel Díaz Rivas. Baseball is Elena Rueda's entire life: She may be the only girl on her team, but she's the best player and everyone knows it. Except . . . Elena has stopped having fun, and it's time to leave the sport behind. The problem is, Elena has no idea who she is without a bat in her hand. Can a summer spent with her brother's quirky friends in an empty sandlot that offers a world of possibility show Elena who she is--and teach her to love to play again? "Sure to be a heartwarming hit." --Johnnie Christmas, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Swim Team
