(4) 4-6 With Paul Mantell. Somewhat preachier than Jeter's first book in the series (The Contract), when this title diverges from the action-packed sports writing most readers will be seeking, it addresses prejudice. The new kid in town is super-rich and embarrassed about it. At first, saintly, persuasive Derek is the only kid willing to befriend him. Baseball fans, and especially Jeter's, will overlook the belabored lesson.
