This means trying out for multiple sports, which isn’t as easy as he thought it would be. Liam worries about his less-than-average height and missing out on camp, but even worse, he’s discovering that his friendship with Marcus isn’t what he thought it was. He is willing to try any sport that might get him into Camp Jack. To do this, Liam will need to perform like never before. Can Liam beat the odds and learn that sometimes setbacks are really just opportunities to try new things?
Long time athlete, Lynn Leitch, writes with humor, heart, and grit. As the first girl on her own town’s All-Star baseball team, Lynn knows the power of sports in a child's life.
