Summary

Seventh-grader Bea is the star short stop on her softball team, which is going to the league championship, but her world has just been turned upside down by the news that her father has been suspended from his law practice because he used some of his clients' money to pay bills. Worse, the news has been spread by another lawyer online, and that lawyer happens to be the father of Bea's almost boyfriend, Xander. Now her fielding skills are slipping, and Bea does not know which is more difficult--dealing with either pity or snickering from her schoolmates, learning to throw again, or forgiving her father
