Luke knows baseball is more than home runs. He can get on base, steal at the right moment, and help his team in ways that do not always make the crowd cheer. But when his older stepbrother Jake gets all the attention as the Vikings’ power hitter and team captain, Luke starts to feel like he is playing from inside Jake’s shadow.
This fast-moving Sports Illustrated Kids graphic novel brings baseball drama onto the page with sibling rivalry, team pressure, and the challenge of proving your value without pretending to be someone else. Young readers who like sports stories will find plenty of action at the plate, but the real tension comes from Luke’s need to be seen for the player he already is.
