What happens when a young girl with a Hall of Fame baseball pedigree breaks the family mold and follows her dream to become a soul singer? Roxy Rogers: Your Destiny Is Calling lets children of all ages see that their families will love them just the same when they pursue their true passions in life. Everybody in Roxy's family--from her grandparents (played with Joe DiMaggio and Jackie Robinson), to her parents (pro ball players), to her big sister (won a softball Gold Medal)--famously played ball, and Roxy is next in line. The only problem is that Roxy dreams of singing soul music like her idol, Aretha Franklin! A historical addendum provides information about the Hall of Fame baseball players who turn up in the book, as well as Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul music. Additionally, a fun treasure hunt for clues about Roxy's true destiny runs throughout the book, giving readers an enhanced, interactive experience.
