Jamison (2nd Edition)

The boy "D. Jamison" trying out for the Panthers high school baseball team is secretly really a girl named Debra, the daughter of a world-famous baseball player. But girls aren't allowed to play high school baseball, so Debra pretends to be a boy to try and make the team. Debra fools everyone during tryouts, including Panthers Coach Walker. Or so it seems. But Debra's neighbor Vince has figured out her real identity. Should he tell Coach Walker who "D. Jamison" really is? Vince can't decide. To make it even more complicated, Vince kind of likes having a girl secretly on the team, and he's not even sure he can make the baseball team now that he has been diagnosed with cancer. So for now, Vince decides to keep his mouth shut and wait and see what happens. In the meantime, "D. Jamison" has just gotten a hit off the toughest pitcher in the entire South!

A book that beautifully discovers the resilience of the human spirit, the power of friendship, and the pursuit of dreams...
