Out at Home A Choose Your Path Baseball Book

You may have read sports books before, but you’ve never read one like this. You’re the main character, and life’s not easy. You’ve been in and out of foster care for much of your life. At least you have baseball. It’s the one thing that keeps you in school and out of trouble. But will you stick with the team when your living situation changes for the worse? And with a new kid in town who also plays shortstop, does the team even need you? Out at Home isn’t like other baseball books for kids. With an interactive format, your choices affect the story’s outcome. Plus, it’s a game within a game: Collect points for your decisions in order to upgrade your character’s baseball skills. So read the book by Lisa M. Bolt Simons, collect the points, and choose to win!
