In this third installment in the Baseball Great series, Josh LeBlanc, a star baseball player who dreams of earning a spot in the MLB, faces a challenge far worse than an opposing pitcher's fastball or curve. Josh's problem involves the facts that with his parents on the verge of splitting up, and his dad's new girlfriend's determined to make it happen, Josh's life seems to be collapsing all around him. But then he gets on the Lyncourt All-Stars, a team in the race to the Little League World Series. Now facing an incompetent, laid-back coach, Josh thinks his problems won't get worse. But they do. When Josh's best friend Jaden discovers that Josh's father's new girlfriend and her "ex-husband" are planning to con his dad out of his money to pay of their debt, Josh needs to take action. In this thrilling, suspenseful, and charmingly hilarious novel, The author Tim Green spins a web of masterful storytelling, drawing the reader into a story of friendship, family, loss, and baseball. But even with a story this good, Tim Green has to knock your socks off with a completely unexpected and ironic ending, with a book that far surpasses it's series' predecessors.
