14-year-old Beth used to be very close with the sandlot kids. She was "one of the guys". But then she had to go away for a school year.
When she comes back that summer, the first thing the guys notice is how she's matured. In every sense of that word. But the guys have matured a lot too.
Will Beth fit right back in with the boys? Or will they no longer recognize her?
What happens when new feelings are forced to come out and Beth can't handle the thought of it ruining her friendship?

"You know how to play baseball, Beth?" Benny asks me.

"I'm more of a basketball kinda gal," I shrug. It's not a lie. I love basketball. I'm not the best at it but I still really like it.

"Well then, Basketball Girl, I'll teach ya how to play." He smirks and tosses me the mitt.

I had this published a while ago with the same name and cover, but since then I've changed a lot. The names are different and now it actually has a plot. The writing is a lot better than what it was before too, so I hope that if you're a reader coming back to the new version, I sincerely hope you enjoy it better.
