The Batboy

247 pp. | Philomel | March, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25000-2 $17.99
(3) 4-6 Fourteen-year-old Brian, the son of a washed-up major-league pitcher, watches every home-game up-close: he's a batboy for the Detroit Tigers. Divorced parents, a disgruntled player, and Brian's own batting slump complicate his life. Lupica's engaging narrative, full of vivid baseball action, teaches readers about the games people play on and off the field.
