Description

When Liam is cut from the baseball team, leaving a gap in his application to Camp Jackman, the best sports camp for athletic kids, he will need to find a different All-Star team to play for...how hard could it be

Twelve-year-old Liam and his best friend Marcus have always played sports together. Their closets are packed with All-Star uniforms, and their shelves filled with trophies. But when Liam is cut from the baseball team, he's left with a gap in his application to Camp Jackman-the ultimate training camp for athletic kids. Liam worries about his less-than-average height, and missing out on camp, but even worse, his friendship with Marcus is on the rocks.

Liam is willing to try every sport that could get him into Camp Jackman-and back in with Marcus. To do this, Liam will need to perform like never before. Long time athlete, Lynn Leitch, writes with humor, heart, and grit. As the first girl on her own town's All-Star baseball team, Lynn knows the power of sports in a child's life.
