Eddie Jackson loves playing catcher. But when he's batting and in the spotlight, he's a wreck. After an embarrassing strike out last summer, he thought he'd be done with baseball for good. Now he's back in the game as a backup catcher. When an injury forces him to step up to the plate, will Eddie be able to overcome his nerves, or is it going to be another swing and a miss? Combining a high-stakes sports story with a dynamic full-color comic format, this Jake Maddox Graphic Novel is sure to be a win for young athletes and struggling readers alike.

      In Catcher, Eddie quits baseball after a humiliating four strikeouts in the championship game. Switch finds Andre frustrated by his new soccer coach's unconventional methods. The texts are message-y ("if we want to make the championship...you need to trust me. Trust your team"), but the graphic novel format and sports action may draw reluctant readers. "Visual Questions" of varying interest are appended. Glos.
