Tammy Tries Baseball

by Dawn Brotherton, Siddhartha Vineet (Illustrator)

Overview

Twenty players. Two games. One challenge.

When Tammy Marshall yells across the field at the local boys' baseball team about how easy their sport is, she isn't prepared for the epic tournament to follow. The teams had been bickering back and forth until finally, they decide to settle it like ballplayers. The date is set for the Lady Tigers to go up against the boys in one game of softball and one game of baseball. Winner takes glory and bragging rights forever. Emotions are running high for all the girls, especially Tammy. Is this their chance to prove the superiority of their skills once and for all? Or has Tammy set her team up for their worst defeat yet?

Tammy Tries Baseball captures the anxiety and ultimate joy of trying something new. If you like sports action, quick dialogue, and coming-of-age friendships, you'll love this latest installment of the Lady Tigers. In the compelling finale to Dawn Brotherton's first Lady Tigers series, it may be time for the team-and the reader-to win some and learn some.

Editorial Reviews

From Nicole’s New Friend

“Brotherton has a solid grasp of softball mechanics, and the book has no shortage of ballplaying scenes that will capture athletic readers’ imaginations.” - Kirkus Review

Nicole’s New Friend, the third book in the Lady Tigers Series by Dawn Brotherton, was a fast and enjoyable read. It ties in nicely with other books in the series, but because each book introduces the characters again, it can stand on its own. There are a lot of characters, and the dialogue between them is a big part of the story.

I liked how the book stressed the values of friendship, forgiveness, and sportsmanship. Nicole’s New Friend shows how one person with a bad attitude can ruin team spirit for everyone. It teaches kids that sports aren’t all about winning, that the fun of the game is more important. The Lady Tigers never give up, even when it seems like they can’t possibly win, a great lesson for tween athletes. - LitPick
