In "The Home-Run King" by Gordon C. James, young baseball enthusiast Sam is determined to follow in the footsteps of his idol, the legendary home-run king. Set against the backdrop of summer days filled with games, friendships, and the thrill of competition, Sam faces the typical challenges of growing up. He learns about perseverance, teamwork, and the importance of staying true to oneself. With encouragement from his family and friends, Sam discovers that achieving his dreams involves more than just hitting home runs—it's about the lessons learned along the way and the bonds forged through a shared love of the game.
