From the Author:
Hard Ball uses baseball to explore family issues.
Hard Ball (HarperCollins '98) is third in a linked series of YA novels, beginning with Striking Out ('93) and Farm Team ('95). These books seem to work very well in grades 7-10 (thanks teachers!) and particulary for young males who "never read" or don't like to read. Baseball is the hook, but I've tried to squeeze in as much literary value as I can. A recurring theme is that the givens in our lives--our setting, our family, even our names--need not be limiting.
