Fast Pitch

From #1 . Shenice Lockwood, captain of the Fulton Firebirds, is hyper-focused when she steps up to the plate. Nothing can stop her from leading her team to the U12 fast-pitch softball regional championship. But life has thrown some curveballs her way. ; Strike one: As the sole team of all-brown faces, Shenice and the Firebirds have to work twice as hard to prove that Black girls belong at bat. ; Strike two: Shenice’s focus gets shaken when her great-uncle Jack reveals that a career-ending--and family-name-ruining--crime may have been a setup. ; Strike three: Broken focus means mistakes on the field. And Shenice’s teammates are beginning to wonder if she’s captain-qualified. ; It''s up to Shenice to discover the truth about her family’s past--and fast--before secrets take the Firebirds out of the game forever. ; “Sports, suspense, mystery, history... What more could you want? A funny, charming page-turner.”;–Adam Gidwitz,
