Praise

* “Katy’s mom . . . is particularly well drawn, as she empowers her daughter to fight injustice.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Featuring powerful female characters, this is historical fiction that doesn’t drag for a second.”–School Library Journal
“Out of Left Field shows us, with heart and precision, what it really takes to make the world change. Katy Gordon is my hero. She’s your hero, too.”—William Alexander, National Book Award winner
“Heartwarming, fresh, and full of surprises. Readers of all ages will cheer for funny, feisty Katy Gordon as she chases her big-league dreams. Ellen Klages hits this one out of the park!”—Jennifer L. Holm, three-time Newbery Honor recipient
“They say that history is written by the winners. I say hidden histories, like the one ten-year-old Katy Gordon uncovers in this book, are writ large by winning authors like Ellen Klages. A book that’s part sports, part rabble-rousing activism, and all around amazing.”—Betsy Bird, School Library Journal blogger and editor of Funny Girl
