Description

Having proven her baseball chops in Smarty Marty's Got Game, this time Marty is making a play for manager, something no girl has ever done in her town's Little League history.

Complete with plenty of baseball knowledge and go-get-'em-girl empowerment, this story is sure to inspire young readers to ask themselves, "If not you, who"
