Felix Piloto dreams of playing baseball like his father, a famous Cuban player who he has never met. Felix's mother works long hours to try to make a better life for Felix, but he feels neglected and misunderstood.
While attending a local game with his dreaded babysitter, Felix makes a decision that just might change his life forever. When he slips away from the babysitter and is mistaken for the visiting team's new batboy, he feels like he is part of the team. His mother won't miss him , right? So he stows away in the luggage hold and makes a journey to the team's clubhouse.
The team starts winning and quickly begin to think of Felix as their good luck charm. What will happen when Felix tells the truth--and finds out the truth about his father?
A glossary of baseball terms and Spanish words will help with some terms that may be unfamiliar.
