Setting the story during World War II, Corey introduces baseball-mad Katie Casey.... With all the boys going off to war, Phillip Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, holds tryouts for girls' teams, and hundreds show up, including Katie.... Gibbon's pictures look straight out of the 1940s, with vintage details and an evocative color palette." - Booklist, starred review
