A baseball star's luck is tested in this action-packed story--perfect for fans of Mike Lupica and Tim Green--from the author of The Kid Coach.

Like many athletes, Trey is superstitious. How could he not be when he just made the Ravens travel baseball team thanks to his lucky charm, a piece of rare sea glass he found on his grandmother's beach?

This stroke of good fortune reinforces Trey's superstitions, and his rituals only become more important to him. Despite some teasing from his teammates, he persists in never stepping on the foul line, obsessively tapping the corners of home plate when he's at bat, and always choosing the same lucky bat. And his tactics are working; he's doing quite well on the field and in the batter's box.

Then one day Trey can't find his lucky sea glass. His performance begins to slip, and he's convinced his future with the Ravens is doomed. Things don't start to improve until Trey's uncle reminds him of his grandmother's favorite saying: "The harder you work, the luckier you get."

Can Trey take these words to heart and find his swing again . . . even without his lucky charm?

This ebook features an afterword about famous real-life players with their own lucky charms and superstitions.
