Twelve-year-old Dewite Richie has never been to a Major League Baseball game, but baseball has become the heartbeat of his world. Growing up in a small, struggling city with a hardworking single mother and the loss of his father, Dewite knows that life rarely gives second chances. But when his best friend hands him an old glove and pushes him to try out for the Kingston Tigers, everything changes.

On the field, Dewite discovers something he didn't know he had, heart.

From catching fly balls in left field to fighting off nerves under pressure, he learns that greatness isn't about being the strongest or the fastest... It's about refusing to give up.

As the season unfolds, Dewite finds himself facing challenges bigger than baseball, poverty, self-doubt, grief, and the fear of not being good enough. But with the support of his team, his coach, and his mother, he discovers courage he didn't know he had.

And when a single, game-changing catch puts him in the spotlight and earns him the MVP award, along with tickets to see the New York Yankees, Dewite's journey becomes a powerful reminder that heart is what makes a hero.

Uplifting, emotional, and inspiring, The Game is a heartfelt sports drama perfect for readers who love stories about perseverance, hope, and the triumph of the human spirit.
