  Hard Drive to Short

  Sandy Varga, shortstop for the Spacemen, is in a bind. Every time his team plays a game on a weekday, he has to leave early. He’s ashamed to tell his teammates the reason why; he’s afraid they’ll give him a hard time. But by not telling them, he risks losing their friendship. It takes a bone-chilling experience with an older boy, Rod Temple, to open Sandy’s eyes to how true friends should treat each other.

  Matt Christopher is the writer young readers turn to when they’re looking for last-paced, action-packed sports novels. A resident of South Carolina, he is the author of many books, including Too Hot to Handle and Shortstop from Tokyo.
