Synopsis: Katie Casey is not much of a girl. She's not prim and proper, and she doesn't like home ec. But Katie Casey is great at something...baseball! However, Katie is discouraged from playing baseball everywhere she turns. Until one day, a scout approaches Katie about playing in an all-girls baseball league. She accepts the offer and makes a team!
Art Rating: 4/5
Book Rating: 4/5
Redeeming Quality: The book is about the all-girls baseball league, that existed in the 1940s and 1950s. Remember the movie A League of Their Own? I like the fact that Katie isn't the typical girly girl.
