Praise

“Hustle - Hit - Never Quit — Freshman Season" is a charming and heartfelt story that pulled me right in from the very first pitch! Maya "Mayday" Rodriguez is the kind of main character you can't help but root for. She is funny, relatable, and so real it feels like she could be on your own team. I loved how the story balances the excitement of softball with the honest, sometimes messy experience of navigating friendships and figuring yourself out as a high school freshman. Maya's ADHD diagnosis is handled with such care that it never feels heavy. It just makes her even more human. If you have a young athlete in your life, or if you were ever that nervous kid stepping onto the field for the first time, this book will speak straight to your heart. I can't wait for Book Two!
