Vivy Cohen is an autistic middle schooler who lives for baseball! As she tries out for pitcher for an all boys baseball team, she starts writing her baseball hero. After several letters, he writes her back, and the story is told in letters between her and her baseball hero. Readers will get an idea of what it is like to be autistic and being a team player, having overprotective parents, how Vivy handles being bullied by the team's star, and advice that VJ (her hero) gives her ( which Vivy doesn't always listen to). A different spin on a baseball story with an autistic female as the main character and how her Jewish heritage plays a little bit in the plot!
