Hi! My name is Lucas Anderson, and moving to Pinewood was a big change for me—not the good kind either. Everything seemed to be going wrong…until I discovered baseball. The game brought new challenges, but I wasn’t alone. Dad, a former Navy SEAL, taught me to be brave and keep trying no matter what. And Mom (a genius) was always there, teaching me tricks to level up.

Legends vs Rising Stars
Icons of Sports Legends Vs the Rising Stars has become a favorite in our car rides, especially during carpool! My son was completely absorbed by the stories and insisted, “Don’t listen without me!” The book does an amazing job of diving into the inspiring journeys of both legendary athletes and rising stars across a variety of sports. Not only was my son entertained, but he was also inspired to go to the library and find more books about some of the players featured. The life lessons on perseverance and sportsmanship really stick with you, making this more than just a fun listen—it’s truly meaningful. Highly recommended for any sports-loving kid (or parent)!
