(4) YA Ella isn't happy about moving during her sophomore year of high school. While dealing with the usual problems (bullies, boys, making friends), she finds strength in learning to play softball with the school team. Although the story is entertaining, the author's voice comes through too loudly in places ("Maybe you really should put yourself--your doubtful, curious, hopeful, nervous-but-willing self--out there").
Reviewer: Laura A. Woollett
