A fastball of a book by Paul Volponi-an author who knows sports and suspense! Julio Ramirez Jr. lives in the shadow of his famous father. Not just because Julio Senior is a pitcher for the Miami Marlins and famous for his scorching fastball, but because he defected from Cuba, leaving Julio and his sister and mother branded as the family of a traitor. Now sixteen, Julio has dreams of playing shortstop for Cuba's national team--until he's given the opportunity to sail to the U.S. Can he abandon his family, just like his Papi did? Is freedom worth the perilous journey and risking prison if he's caught? Will his Papi be waiting for him on the other shore-or, with the Marlins in the World Series against the Yankees, has Julio Senior forgotten all about his son?

Readers will identify with Julio as he juggles dreams, bitterness, and family loyalties in this lyrical, spare novel."-Booklist "A poignant story. . . this is a must-read for any teen who not only loves stories about sports but also enjoys reading about families."-VOYA
