Dashiell decides to make her own reality by trying out for the baseball team (she's played softball -- now she's ready for REAL baseball). Various adults and students are agin' it, of course, but she gets to try out*, she makes the team*, she earns the respect of hostile teammates and adults*, the team has a great season and goes to the championships*.*Also of course.It is all a little bit "of course", I'm afraid. I expect it's hard to write a baseball story that deviates very far from this formula. But it's a swell ride, and it is still satisfying to see skeptics converted, soreheads punished and virtue triumphant -- at least on the playing field.Along the way, Dashiell, Arica and their mother confront other realities they can't remake, some they can't even influence, the hardest being the understanding that Dad isn't calling simply because it's not important to him.But they have each other, Arica has her friends (and a boyfriend), Dashiell has the game (and a friend who is a boy), and hey, just wait 'til next year. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid YA graphic novel about sports and life *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2015* De Filippis and Weir are solid storytellers, and this is one of the only graphic novels I've found centered on sports. Dashiell and her sister Arica are at a new school, and this one has a championship-level baseball team. Good news for Dashiell, a talented softball player... until the inevitable drama arises because she's a girl playing on a "boys" team. While Arica's trying to fit in, Dashiell's making waves. Add in some boy-girl drama, and everything gets a little complicated. But it's all okay in the end! The characters and the story are sweet and satisfying even though the story doesn't have much surprise factor. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/11009731-play-ball-hardcover-may-8-2012](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/11009731-play-ball-hardcover-may-8-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
