About this listen
Every single swing counts…especially the strikes!
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.
Thanks to them, my cool cousin Kevin, and awesome new friends I made on the team, I started to think that maybe, just maybe, I could do something great with my life. But Pete, the biggest bully ever, would pitch me some serious problems…

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

A very endearing story
The author's creativity shines throughout the story of how Lucas finds his path through baseball. It's a great book for young athletes who are learning about the challenges of not being perfect, pleasing others, and resisting bullying. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters to life, and the story was packed with lessons about perseverance, teamwork, and believing in yourself. Lucas faced challenges and grew both on and off the field, and the author presented the challenges and resolutions at a level appropriate for young reader comprehension.

Even when faced with a bully, he starts to believe in himself and what he can achieve. It’s a great reminder of how support and persistence can help you grow. A relatable and inspiring listen for all ages!

Rise of the underdog
The thrilling, difficult, and supportive tale of young athletes taking their first steps onto a baseball field is beautifully captured in Rise of the Underdog. Particularly for individuals who might believe they lack the innate skill or confidence of others, the book expertly captures the feelings of victory and difficulty that come with learning a new sport.
The underdog theme of this novel, which demonstrates how tenacity, diligence, and teamwork can frequently triumph over natural aptitude, is what sets it apart. Young athletes who have the will to excel but may feel defeated or ignored should read it. Readers will feel as though they are actually at the baseball game because of the realistic characters and exciting activity.
The book is not simply a sports narrative but also a manual for human development since it deftly incorporates important life lessons like perseverance, collaboration, and self-belief. Young readers will find encouragement in the main character's journey, and parents and coaches will value the positive lessons.
Rise of the Underdog is an excellent read for any young athlete or fan of a great underdog tale. It's inspirational, enjoyable, and full of baseball delights.

A truly relatable story
I got this book for my son, who has struggled with low self-esteem due to his height. The story told from Lucas' perspective as the underdog beautifully captures the challenges he faced with a big move and his fears about playing baseball. What really stood out to me was the father's words of encouragement in chapters 8 & 9, reminding Lucas not to give up and to keep going. For my son, those words were powerful—he realized that he can overcome difficult things if he just doesn’t quit (his words). "Don’t let the opinions of others pull you down." and the message about learning from mistakes is invaluable.
This is a fantastic book, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for an inspiring story to encourage their kids to keep going and never give up.

Sports Are Amazing
I feel like this is a story everyone can relate to somehow. It takes you along on a journey with a child moving to a new place and finding where he fits in, and baseball was just the thing for him. It didn't come easy, but with the help of his parents and cousins, he pushed through to make the team and learn what teamwork is all about. Being part of a team-taught him many skills, from resistance to character to working together using our strengths and weaknesses. Being part of a dance group when I was younger was so fulfilling in so many ways, and I loved every part of it. Inspire your child with the dedication of this audiobook.

Lessons that resonnate
This cute book shows the resilience of humans to adapt and overcome in even the most difficult of times. I absolutely loved the story. I could see similarities in my own struggles when things didn't go well. I applaud the author for their vulnerability to teach us we are not alone.
