What first attracted me to the book was the plot - girl loves baseball, but since there's no girls' baseball team in the town she's staying the summer at (the whole summer for the first time in her life), she must disguise herself as a boy.
Now, I'm a fan of a movie involving women and baseball - my favorite movie ever being A League of Their Own. So that's one of the reasons I picked up this book. Another one being the plot, as I have mentioned above.
I loved how it was partly predictable, partly surprise, and plenty believable with believable characters.
Any girls who are interested in baseball should definitely read this, and any older fans who aren't embarrassed to be reading a children's book should as well. Loved this! Definitely worth the money!
