Rosedale Branch

Rosedale Meeting Room

We dive into Curveball, the award-winning graphic novel by Pablo Cartaya.

Baseball is Elena’s entire life. She runs every morning as part of her training and spends the off season attending clinicals to work on her skills. To put it simply, Elena is the best baseball player on her team. The only problem is that she’s stopped having fun with the sport. Maybe a baseball-free summer with her brother and his quirky friends is just what she needs.

Recommended for ages 9-12. Plus, stick around after the discussion for a fun craft activity inspired by the book.
