Stealing Home

Joey Gallagher is on top of the world. When his team's pitcher is injured, he steps onto the mound and helps them win a crucial game. But his good mood ends abruptly when his mother announces that the exchange student they've been waiting for is due to arrive in a week. Joey is less than thrilled with the prospect of getting to know the newcomer. When he learns that the boy's name is Jesus, he's sure that the new kid will never fit in and that he'll be dragged down with him. But Jesus turns out to be much more than Joey expected....Mantell, Paul is the author of 'Stealing Home', published 2004 under ISBN 9780316607421 and ISBN 0316607428.
