"Stealing Home" by Ellen Schwartz follows the story of a young boy named Tommy who learns valuable life lessons through the world of baseball and friendship. Set against the backdrop of a small town, the narrative explores themes of family, loss, and the quest for belonging. After discovering his love for the game, Tommy faces personal challenges while trying to keep his father's memory alive. As he navigates the trials of adolescence and the pressures of growing up, he finds solace in his friendships and the game itself, ultimately understanding the importance of home, both in a physical and emotional sense.
