Publisher's Description
A New Sport with New Rules—Can Laurie Come Through for Her Team?
With the girls softball season about to start, fifth-grader Laurie Bird Preston cant decide what to do. Her friends are trying out for the team, but Laurie knows shes no softball player—basketball is her sport. She helped lead her middle schools girls basketball team to a state championship just a few weeks earlier. What fun will she have playing a sport shes no good at and might not even like? But with patience, practice—and help from her friends and an eccentric old woman with a mysterious past—Laurie might just learn that she doesnt have to be the best player to be part of the team.
