Review
“R.A. Dickey is one of the coolest athletes Ive ever met.” — George Vecsey,
The New York Times
"Dickey, with an assist from Karounos, creates a sweet, sympathetic character and presents an earnest, heartfelt message." - Kirkus Reviews
"The clear, lively writing and nice pacing make this a good addition to the canon of antibullying books that make their point without being message driven. Bowers adds to the fun...his cartoon acrylic paint illustrations effectively capture Neds wobbliness and make the pages come alive with motion." - School Library Journal

Ned the baseball is very nervous on his first day of school. Everyone else seems to know where they belong, but not Ned. He isn't a fastball or a slider, and the Foul Ball gang makes fun of him for the way he wobbles.

Not only does Ned realize he's a knuckleball, but he discovers that he can be a hero, too!
