Review by Etta Wilson
Girls are not only playing baseball, their moms are coaching! At least they are in the first of Scholastic's new series for young readers The Leftovers. In Book #1 Strike Out!, Catherine's mom agrees to coach one summer even though she doesn't know a base hit from a home run. Author Tristan Howard continues the fun-and the fighting-in Catch Flies as Catherine tries to help the team play as a unit instead of against each other.
