(4) 4-6 With Paul Mantell. A boy named Derek Jeter chases his dreams of playing in the Major Leagues. The author's note states the story is "based on some of my experiences growing up and playing baseball," and the book's "theme" is: "Set Your Goals High." Third-grade Derek (the character) is remarkably--and unrealistically--self-possessed and self-aware, but fans will get a kick out of this kid-version of their hero.
