Description
Elena Rueda loves baseball -- and is the best player on her team -- but recently has stopped having fun, so during a summer spent with her brother's quirky friends she reflects on who she is and maybe learns to love to play again.
"Baseball is Elena Rueda's entire life. Just like her mom at her age, Elena's the best player--and the only girl--on her team. If she works hard enough this summer, she'll be on track to join the varsity team in high school. That's Elena's dream...isn't it? The truth is, Elena loves baseball, but she may not love playing anymore. So when an injury forces her to take a break, her abuelo suggests she try something new: live-action role-playing with her brother, Benji, and his quirky friends. At first Elena doesn't see the point of a game you can't win--a game made up of costumes, quests, and imaginary magic. But over a summer without scoreboards she gets swept up in the spell of friendship and fun. That is, until a new baseball season approaches. With old pressures looming, can Elena find her voice and claim her dreams--and most importantly, her team?" -- Jacket.
