(4) 4-6 In this predictable sports novel, eighth-grader Roy is more motivated by baseball than by history class. He loses his spot on the All-Stars and has to play with the sub-par Rec League to allow time for school. Roy initially feels the Rec League is beneath him but eventually sees the parallels between athletic and academic success.
