Bat 6: A couple years after World War 2, two towns come together each summer to play a sportsmanlike game of softball. One year an unusual girl named Shazam walks in, and instantly makes the team. The others aren't so sure about her, but they accept her all the same. On the Ridge, a Japanese girl is also drawn in. Shazam has a huge predjudice against Japanese, since her dad was killed at Pearl Harbor. This anger builds up until ther first game against each other comes, and Shazam severely injures Aki.
Boom! I cut you off. I culdn't figure the story out. right before the end, I thought I knew what was going to happen, and it ended. It was neat how the author used the girls on both teams to say what they thought about Shazam. Shazam's comments are disjointed, creepy sentances that tell you what her past was like. Very cool.
