    About this ebook

    Life on the softball circuit means games and practices and tournaments, with just enough time to eat and sleep.

    But Alice wants more. A real life involving real friends and boys and God forbid...

    When all seems lost and life lets you down, hope finds you in the most unlikely of places. And, in the most unlikely of people. Don't miss, "Fireworks Wait for No One," the next installment in the popular Little League Series.
