What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Since his parents split up, the only bright spot in Bobby’s days is being coached by his father in the fine art of running bases. In fact, he’s getting so fast on the base paths that he earns a nickname from the fans: “the Fox.” Then, just as things seem to be going better on the team and at home, Bobby’s father makes an announcement that promises to tear Bobby’s life apart again.
