Book Description
"Structured to mirror the flow of a baseball game, THROWBACK covers everything that happens both in plain sight and behind the scenes (or sometime in whispered invective at the plate or in the bullpen), from the players' pre-game routines and the pitcher's warm-up tosses, to the hidden signs the catcher and pitcher use to communicate to outwit hitters; from infielders' often amusing conversations with men at first and third bases, to the specific positions outfielders often take based on the pitch they anticipate will next be thrown. Based on Kendall's15 years of professional MLB experience, THROWBACK weaves hilarious first-person anecdotes together with wonderfully illuminating "Oh, that's why they do that!" insights into professional baseball, how it's played, and the "why" behind everything you see happening on and off the field"--

Book Description
In the aftermath of her mother's sudden death, things can't get much worse for 12-year-old Abby Daniels. She has moved into the old high school-a building transforming into an art gallery and residence under the direction of her mother's will. Taking over the project (and custody of his daughter) is Lam Daniels, a man Abby has never met, and resents with every ounce of her being. School is no refuge. Tormented by the school bully and ignored by the other kids, Abby can't imagine who would have left her an envelope in the principal's office. In it she discovers what she thinks is a temporary tattoo. When she puts the tattoo on her arm, Abby seals her fate and sets in motion a series of events that will not only tip the balance of power in a magical world she's never seen, but reveal family secrets that will change her life forever.
