A Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Selection
A Horn Book Magazine Best Book of 2022
Told in a voice that is so real it reeks of filched peaches, this book is a home run. Amy Sarig King, Printz Awardwinning author of Dig and The Year We Fell from Space
Sandlot meets Esperanza Rising in this vividly rendered, emotionally vulnerable (Publishers Weekly, starred review) middle grade historical novel about a strong-willed girl who finds her voice in a tale of moxie, peaches, and determination to thrive despite the odds.
When the skies dried up, Gloria thought it was temporary. When the dust storms rolled in, she thought they would pass. But now the bank mans come to take the family farm, and Pas decided to up and move to California in search of work. Theyll pick fruit, he says, until they can save up enough money to buy land of their own again.
There are only three rules at the Santa Ana Holdsten Peach Orchard:
No stealing product.
No drunkenness or gambling.
And absolutely no organizing.
Well, Gloria Mae Willard isnt about to organize any peaches, no maam. Shes got more on her mind than that. Like the secret, all-boys baseball team shes desperate to play for, if only theyd give her a chance. Or the way that wages keep going down.

If the people around her are keeping secrets, then shell keep a few of her own. And if the boss men at the Santa Ana Holdsten Peach Orchard say she cant organize peaches, then by golly shell organize a whole ball game.
