While babysitting, Kristy realizes that many of the younger kids in Stoneybrook aren't able play Little League baseball. She decides to form a team: Kristy's Krushers. But that's not the only pre-Little League team that has formed...Bart Taylor coaches Bart's Bashers. They decide to have a friendly, competitive game. Unfortunately, the Krushers lose, but Kristy realizes that her team is incredibly passionate about playing baseball. Jackie Rodowsky is dubbed the Walking Disaster because he is a klutz.

What do you call it when the title is misleading to what the book is about? Anyway, Jackie is such a minor part of this book. The author continuously forced him into scenes to make him relevant, when really he doesn’t bring nearly as much attention to the story as the real plot, which is Kristy forming a little softball team. This book transformed Kristy for me. What an amazing human. She really is a true babysitter and leader and I love being in her head. She comes across soooo bratty and crusty and mean to others, but she is not that way in her head at all. Hah. I was touched by how the kids were inspired and motivated by being part of a team. The one thing this SAHM got from this preteen chapter book is to make sure I put my daughter in some organized sports!

I remember liking this one a lot as a kid because I, too, loved baseball and was terrible at it.

4 stars. This was a lot of fun. Unfortunately it doesn't focus as much on the other girls, it's primarily Kristy and her softball team but I still really enjoyed it. The kids on her team were adorable and watching Kristy be a coach and encouraging them to do their best was adorable. I also really liked the end between Kristy and Bart, that was super cute. I prefer when the other baby-sitters are the focus but this was just as enjoyable.
