In "Plunked" by Michael Northrop, we follow the story of a young boy named Jack who struggles to find his place and navigate the complexities of friendship and competition in a summer baseball league. When the arrival of a new kid in town shakes things up, tensions rise on and off the field. As Jack grapples with self-doubt and the pressures of fitting in, he discovers the true meaning of teamwork and the importance of being true to oneself. With engaging characters and relatable themes, this coming-of-age story captures the ups and downs of youth through the lens of sports and camaraderie.
