Catching Confidence — Jake Maddox

Ana Flores has always been more interested in books than sports. But when the women's softball team at the local college piques her interest, she decides to give the sport a shot. Tryouts don't go as well as she'd hoped, and she's named the coach's assistant. But she's not giving up yet. With the surprising help of her frenemy, Mali, Ana works hard on her confidence and her catching, with the hopes of one day snagging the position. A glossary, writing prompts, and discussion questions provide readers of this popular series with appropriate support.
