After participating in her town’s Minor Little League program for two years, she dreams of being selected for one of the upper-level teams.

With tenacity and motivation, Cricket proves that dreams really do come true. Filled with the sounds and sights of America’s favorite pastime, both boys and girls who love baseball will want to read about Cricket’s journey to beat the odds and come out a winner!
