He makes a game-changing catch! Now he’s proven he can be great some of the time. Which makes him just like the greatest Hall of Famers, right? All you need is glove — as long as you believe!

Book excerpt: “You can write about ANYTHING, as long as you write about YOU.” A young boy listens as Mr. Lopez explains the class’s assignment: write about yourself. Marcus is going to write about his hat collection. Alia is going to write about the vampires she talks about all the time. The boy, however, doesn’t have any ideas beyond a title: “The Story of Me by Me.” His sister suggests making lists as a way to start — Thinks I Like, Things I Know. But the things all seem disconnected. Is there a way to tie them all together? Finally, a kid’s-eye guide to writing! Perfect inspiration for every child to start their very own “Story of Me”!

Book excerpt: A child and beloved grandma bond over birds during the grandma’s final days. When Grandma gets sick and comes to stay at her grandchild’s house, she brings her bird feeder. Grandma loves birds. And the child loves the time they spend together, drawing bird pictures and “talking about interesting things.” Grandma’s health declines, however. She moves to the hospice, where the child hangs the bird feeder outside her window. There, though the grandma’s ability to interact diminishes over time, their love for each other never wavers. Simple and deep, this quiet book speaks with empathy about the loss of a treasured grandparent, and with hope about the tomorrows — and the birds — that always come.

But things take a strange turn when Hunter's perfect pitching streak goes downhill, and Lenny suspects foul play—specifically, someone stealing Mike's catcher signals. But who could be responsible, and why?
