Wouldn’t it be great to have a professional baseball player give you personal pointers on your pitching style and batting technique? Twelve year old Charlie Nebraska isn’t the best baseball player in his town, but if professional Luther Peale helps him, Charlie knows he’ll get a lot better. Luther has even offered to coachCharlie’s team. It sounds like a perfect situation but there is a problem. This is the 1950’s and Luther is a black man and a stranger to the small Nebraska town. Not only that, but Luther has a secret. This is an exciting story about a boy fighting his family and neighbors for what he believes is right, even if doing so puts him in danger. (New Hampshire Great Stone Face 2007)
