Nini loves everything about ballet--the sparkles, the costumes, the
twirling! But in the spring there's only baseball practice. Baseball is
nothing like ballet. Or is it?
Nini hates baseball. She hates that baseball is not ballet. She
especially hates that Mom signed her up to play, but now she's stuck
with the sport. Nini just can't bring herself to try. Her team starts to
lose, but not even her teammates' disappointment will change her
feelings. A pep talk from her coach and sparkly shoelaces help--a
little. When Nini makes a game-winning catch using her ballet moves, she
realizes that change might not be so bad after all, and ballet and
baseball have more in common than she thought.
