Miss Congeniality meets She’ s the Man in this hilarious M! X novel about a girl torn between competing in a beauty pageant and playing on the boy’ s baseball team.
Gabby’ s summer vacation isn’ t shaping up to be that great. Her dad was just deployed overseas, and Gabby is staying at her grandmother’ s house with her mom and baby sister until he returns.
The one bright spot is that Gaby plans to sign up for the local softball league— her greatest love and a passion she shares with her Dad who was a pitcher in college. But when Gabby goes to sign up for the summer league, she discovers that there wasn’ t enough interest to justify a girl’ s team this year. And to top it off, a horrible miscommunication ends with Gabby signed up to participate in the Miss Popcorn Festival— the annual pageant that Gabby’ s mom dominated when she was younger.
Besides not having any interest in the pageant life, Gabby made a promise to her dad that she would play softball for the summer. Since her pitching skills rival any boy her age, Gabby creates a master plan: disguise herself as a boy and sign up for the boy’ s baseball team instead— and try to win the pageant to make Mom happy. Can Gabby juggle perfecting her pageant walk and perfecting her fastball? Or will this plan strike out?
