In Gabby Garcia’s Ulitmate Playbook, if life were a baseball game, all-star pitcher Gabby Garcia would be having her Best. Season. EVER! She loses her winning streak when they send her to another school. She loses on and off the field.
But Gabby never gives up! She plans to keep her champion status intact, and she has every step written out—play by play. How could it not work?
This new series, written by Iva-Marie Palmer, fills its pages with funny illustrations, sports facts, and blooper-reel moments that will have readers laughing and rooting for more.
