Keeping Score

By Linda Sue Park

Maggie and her friend Joey-Mick are diehard Dodger fans. They know all the players and all their stats. But despite praying year after year their team is never going to win the World Series. Doesn't anything Maggie wishes for ever happen? She also wishes Jim -- who is serving in the army in Korea -- would answer her letters. She is really beginning to worry about this man who has been her friend and baseball mentor. Mom and Dad want her to have faith, but does faith really work?
