Bookroo's summary

Step into Alec's shoes, where baseball is more than a game—it's a lifeline. With parents in jail and a shaky foster care past, Alec must balance his love for the sport with a crumbling home life. As a new rival threatens his spot on the team, Alec faces tough choices. Will he rise to the challenge, keep his starting position, and mend his fractured family? In this interactive adventure, your decisions shape Alec's journey. Can you guide him to a championship finish and personal redemption?
