Gabby Garcia's life is going perfectly: she has great grades, good friends and she's the best baseball pitcher at her school. She's even in the midst of pitching a no-hitter when everything falls apart: her school has asbestos. Now she has to transfer to a new school and all of a sudden she's a jinx, the baseball team doesn't need her (or even like her) and her grades are heading firmly toward Cs. It is not ideal. How to reverse this trend?

This is adorable and sports fans will love it. Watching Gabby try to reinvent herself is pretty hysterical (let's just say that all of her new "talents" prove to be harder to master than she expects) but kids will learn to (a) keep trying and (b) attempt new things. There are definitely worse things. ;)

It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and I would definitely read the sequel.
