    Thirteen-year-old Satoshi Matsumoto spent the last three years living in Atlanta where he was the star of his middle-school baseball team—a slugger with pro potential, according to his coach. Now that his father’s work in the US has come to an end, he’s moved back to his hometown in rural Japan. Living abroad has changed him, and now his old friends in Japan are suspicious of his new foreign ways. Even worse, his childhood foe Shintaro, whose dad has ties to gangsters, is in his homeroom. After he joins his new school’s baseball team, Satoshi has a chance to be a hero until he makes a major-league error. 
“A heart-warming story about a baseball player who learns that teamwork is much more important than being the star of the team. I loved the family dynamics and depiction of life, and especially baseball, in Japan.”—Shauna Holyoak, author of Kazu Jones and the Denver Dognappers (Hyperion, 2019) 
“An engaging, sports-focused, family-driven Japanese spin on the new-kid-in-school narrative.”—Kirkus Reviews

When she’s mistakenly sent to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert at Green Gables, her boundless imagination and dramatic flair begin to reshape every life she touches.

Press play and step into one of literature’s most beloved classics - a story where every moment shimmers with hope, humor, and the magic of seeing the world through Anne’s bright, unstoppable imagination. Let this timeless tale remind you that the deepest adventures often begin with simply finding where you belong.
