Bookroo's summary
Katie loves the Cherrydale Porcupines but can't see why her friends idolize star shortstop Mike Reed. She prefers the benched veteran. When a magical switch puts her in Mike's cleats, Katie discovers the pressures and challenges he faces. Can she handle the spotlight and learn to appreciate others' struggles? This unexpected transformation teaches Katie a valuable lesson about empathy and understanding.
From the publisher
It’s baseball season, and Katie and her friends are busy rooting for their favorite team, the Cherrydale Porcupines. Katie loves the team, but can’t understand why her friends are so obsessed with the team’s star shortstop, Mike Reed; she prefers the old shortstop who now sits on the bench every game. But when Katie is switcherooed into the team’s star shortstop, she learns that she should never judge someone until she’s standing in their size-12 baseball cleats!
