Like his first foray into middle grade sports fiction, The Contract (S. & S., 2014), Jeter presents a fictionalized story based on his own childhood. Each title in the series is based on the principles of Jeter's Turn 2 Foundation. Hit & Miss revolves around the maxim "Think Before You Act." ...sharp baseball action keeps the plot moving. This series will have no trouble finding an appreciative audience.

Synopsis
The second middle grade book in the New York Times bestselling Jeter Publishing imprint, Hit & Miss is a baseball novel inspired by the youth of legendary sports icon and role model Derek Jeter. "Just try to make solid contact, stay level and in control. Positive thoughts only, right?" That's the advice Derek's father gives him about batting--and a lot more. It seems that Little League season is here. Throughout the long Michigan winter, Derek thought that Opening Day might never come. Now at last he can pursue his dream of one day playing shortstop for the New York Yankees. As luck would have it, he's on the Red Sox this year, and they seem to have more talent than the Tigers, the team he was on when last season ended in disappointment. His best friend, Vijay, is with him again, and Derek gets the same number--13!--that his father wore in college. Now if the new kid with the chauffeur turns out to be a player, well, the Red Sox might just win it all. But as Derek finds out, both baseball and life are hard. Before the season is over, he'll break out of a slump, bring his teammates closer together, learn a new sport, solve the mystery of why his sister Sharlee seems so quiet, and suffer the consequences for violating "The Contract" he had signed with his parents. Before he can move closer to his dream, there are many lessons to be learned., The second book in the New York Times bestselling Jeter Publishing imprint, Hit & Miss is a middle grade baseball novel inspired by the youth of legendary sports icon and role model Derek Jeter.

- j***g (482)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI received 4 books at a greatly reduced price (buy 2, get two free offer), with free 2 day shipping. The entire set, in decent condition and well-packed, arrived exactly 2 days after purchase. Well done. This is one of the best bargain books sellers ANYWHERE, in my opinion. Highly recommended seller! A+++
- -***0 (105)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseReally love this album it came in near perfect condition. I wish I would have read the description better though. I could have bought a cheaper one. I bought this only because I thought I was getting the green hype sticker on it, as seen in the picture. That is an important detail for people who collect music. Its my own fault for assuming, I should have read the whole description. It's super clean, came packaged very well, fast shipping. Can't really complain. I got exactly what I paid for. 👍
