Screaming at the Ump: A Coming-of-Age Baseball Story About

Screaming at the Ump: A Coming-of-Age Baseball Story About Ethics, Friendship, and Tough Choices for Children (Ages 10-12)

Twelve-year-old Casey Snowden knows everything about being an umpire. His dad and grandfather run a New Jersey umpire school, Behind the Plate, and Casey lives and breathes baseball. Caseyâ€™s dream, however, is to be a reporterâ€”objective, impartial, and fair, just like an ump. But when he stumbles upon a sensational story involving a former major league player in exile, he finds that the ethics of publishing it are cloudy at best. This emotionally charged coming-of-age novel about baseball, divorce, friendship, love, and compassion challenges its readers to consider all the angles before calling that strike.
