With Coach Carlton's good advice and everyone's hard work, the whole team is at their peak of performance...except maybe Tracy. After taking one in the face during a game, she's been a little shy of the ball. Her bruises are fading, but her teammates and even kids on the other teams have started to notice that she's backing off. Tracy has to wonder if she's not cut out for baseball after all. She has other friends who know nothing about baseball, and she has fun with them. Still, she's a Scrapper, and with only a few games left in the season, she can't quit now. Can she? No Fear is the eighth book in Dean Hughes's Scrappers series. Each book in the series focuses on a different member of this determined baseball squad. In one summerlong season, each player learns not only something about him or herself, but also what it is that defines a team.
