(3) 4-6 Comeback Kids series. Lupica scores with unlikely heroes who encounter challenges on and off the field. Nick, who's adopted, finds that moving up to varsity baseball has its downsides. Pedro wants to please his hard-working father, but basketball and a class election could spell failure, not fame. Believable characters, distinctive voices, and effective dialogue make for appealing novels. Review covers these Comeback Kids titles: Long Shot and Safe at Home.
