Bookroo's summary

Kristy forms a scrappy softball team, Kristy's Krushers, to fulfill her siblings' dreams. Despite their lack of skill, their spirit is unmatched. But when Bart's Bashers challenge them, Kristy faces a dilemma: the rival coach is her secret crush. Can Kristy lead her team to victory while navigating her feelings? The stakes are high on and off the field, as Kristy must balance team loyalty with her heart's desires. Will the Krushers triumph, or will Kristy's emotions get in the way? Discover the twists in this spirited tale of friendship, competition, and young love.

From the publisher

America’s favorite series returns with a new look and a Netflix tv show.They’re lean, they’re mean, they’re the pride of Stoneybrook. Who are they? They’re Kristy’s Krushers!When Kristy sees how much her little brothers and sister want to play on a softball team, she starts a rag-tag team of her own. Maybe Kristy’s Krushers aren’t world champions (how could they be, with Jackie Rodowsky, walking disaster, playing for them?), but nobody beats them when it comes to team spirit.Now Bart’s Bashers have challenged the Krushers to a real live game. It’s bad enough that the Bashers truly ARE lean and mean – but what’s worse is that Kristy has a crush on the Bashers’ coach. A crush with a capital C!
