Book Synopsis
Become a baseball star in this interactive adventure. Make the right choices, upgrade your skills, and win the big game!
Whoever said "life isn't fair" wasn't kidding. Your parents have been in and out of jail--and you've been in and out of foster care--for much of your life. At least you have baseball. It's the one thing that keeps you in school and out of trouble. But will you stick with the team when your living situation changes for the worse?
You're the main character in this interactive sports adventure. Play as Alec, and try to keep your head in the game as your home life begins to unravel. Do you have the talent, skill, and focus to keep your starting spot at shortstop? Or will the new kid in town bump you to the bench? More importantly, will you find a way to forgive your parents and bring your family back together?
You may have read sports books before, but you've never read one like Out at Home by Lisa M. Bolt Simons. It's a game within a game. Interactive books for kids are more popular than ever. Create your own adventure with the Choose to Win book series for boys and girls. You're the main character. You make the choices. Will you find your way to a championship finish? Here's how the format works:
- Become the main character. Make choices that affect what happens.
- Collect points along the way to upgrade your skills.
- Utilize your upgrades to win the game at story's end!
