<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Feeling he doesn't belong with his foster parents, 12-year-old Nick Crandall also feels he shouldn't be catcher for the varsity baseball team. But Nick needs to prove himself wrong--that he does, indeed, belong.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From #1</b> <i><b>New York Times</b></i> <b>bestseller Mike Lupica!</b> <p/>Nick Crandall feels like he doesn't belong anywhere. He doesn't fit in with his new foster parents. They don't know the first thing about sports - and he's not exactly the model student they want him to be. It's only a matter of time until they realize he's not the right kid for them. And Nick certainly doesn't belong playing varsity baseball. He's only twelve years old! His teammates want a catcher their own age. But Nick needs to prove that he belongs - to his parents, to his team, and to himself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for the Comeback Kids: </b> <p/>"Lupica portrays the action clearly and vividly, with a real sense of the excitement and unpredictable nature of the games.
