| book description |

Kwame Alexander weaves a spellbinding story of struggle, determination and the unflappable faith of an American family. 'Superb ... [has the] power to move, shock and transport' Guardian 'Supremely satisfying and zings with confidence' Times, Children's Book of the Week Twelve-year-old Charley is set on becoming the first female pitcher to play professional baseball, even if thatâ€™s a lofty dream for a Black girl in the American South in the 1920s. Even so, her grandfather Kofiâ€™s thrilling stories about courageous ancestors and epic journeys make it impossible not to dream big. She knows he has so much more to tell, but according to her parents, she isnâ€™t old enough to know about certain things, like what happened to Booker Preston that one night in Great Bridge, and why she can never play on the brand-new baseball field on the other side of town. When Charley challenges a neighbourhood bully to a game at the church picnic, she knows she can win, even with her ragtag team. Then a dispute on the field leads to Charley making a fateful decision, one that will bring consequences she never could have imagined.
