About this ebook
In this award-winning novel, two best friends face the ultimate test of their friendship when one is diagnosed with cancer during the championship game of their Little League season.
Two teams, six innings, one game.
A lively cast of characters—baseball-loving boys between the ages of eleven to thirteen—are playing the biggest game of their lives. With acrobatic catches, clutch hits, dramatic whiffs, and costly errors, this game is full of action. But as Six Innings unfolds, pitch by pitch, a deeper story emerges, with far more at stake: Sam and Mike, best friends, are trying to come to terms with Sam's newly diagnosed cancer. And this baseball diamond becomes the ultimate testing ground of Sam and Mike's remarkable friendship as they strive to find a way to both come out winners.
This is for the championship.
This is for life.
Six Innings is a Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year that masterfully blends the excitement of youth baseball with a poignant tale of friendship, resilience, and courage in the face of adversity. Perfect for young sports fans and readers looking for an emotionally resonant story.
