Baseball GreatNew York Times Bestseller!Josh feels like he's starting to make it big! Jaden, the school reporter, says he's going to take the baseball team to number one. Then his dad pulls him off the field and signs him up with Coach Rocky Valentine's youth championship team, the Titans. He says Josh has what it takes to be a baseball great—and the Titans will help him get there. Now Josh is gulping down Rocky's "Super Stax" milkshakes to build muscle; and trying to fit in with his new teammates—older, tougher kids who can suddenly become violent. All Josh really wants to do is play ball, but as he gets in deeper with the Titans, there are questions he's just got to ask! As Josh and his new friend Jaden investigate their suspicions, they find themselves in a dangerous struggle with a desperate man who doesn't want them to expose the nasty secrets they uncover. Pulsing with action, Baseball Great offers a baseball story attuned to today's headlines, a totally involving, character driven, sports-centered thriller.

New York Times Bestseller! (#5) BASEBALL GREAT was named one of the best author-read audio books of the year by AudioFile magazine! The Baseball Great series has been chosen as a "must-read" series by Library Journal "Green delivers a fast-paced story, told in short chapters that build to the exciting climax. He also doesn't sanitize the rough world of the locker room, showing the intimidation that often accompanies young people's sports." —Booklist  |
