Description
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 Diaz 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
