Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen!

In this perfectly pitched novel-in-letters, autistic eleven-year-old Vivy Cohen won´t let anything stop her from playing baseball--not when she has a major-league star as her pen pal. Vivy Cohen is determined. She´s had enough of playing catch in the park. She´s ready to pitch for a real baseball team. But Vivy´s mom is worried about Vivy being the only girl on the team, and the only autistic kid. She wants Vivy to forget about pitching, but Vivy won´t give up. When her social skills teacher makes her write a letter to someone, Vivy knows exactly who to choose: her hero, Major League pitcher VJ Capello. Then two amazing things happen: A coach sees Vivy´s amazing knuckleball and invites her to join his team. And VJ starts writing back! Now Vivy is a full-fledged pitcher, with a catcher as a new best friend and a steady stream of advice from VJ. But when a big accident puts her back on the bench, Vivy has to fight to stay on the team.
