It's always been just Ryder and his mom?ever since Ryder can remember. And they make a strong pair, relying on each other through thick and thin. But one day, on the way home from Ryder's baseball team practice, everything changes. Fast-forward hours later, and Ryder's mom is in the hospital fighting for her life. She's been hit by a truck while trying to cross the street, and Ryder knows it's all his fault. If he hadn't pulled away from her at that moment, his mom would never have stumbled into the street. So when the doctor's diagnosis comes and Ryder learns that his mom will need an expensive operation to survive, his world stops completely. He is now utterly alone, but he knows what he has to do. He finds in his mother's closet a letter and a baseball signed by a Major League Baseball player. After what his mother has told him about this ball, he's sure the ball contains his father's signature. With this clue, and the help of his next-door neighbor and a New York City firefighter, Ryder goes on the search of his life, to find his father and get the support he needs to save his mom. But will everything fall into place in time to save her, or will Ryder become a lost boy forever? New York Times bestselling author Tim Green knocks this one out of the park, combining heart and baseball to create a story that readers will never forget.

Autorenporträt
Tim Green, for many years a star defensive end with the Atlanta Falcons, is a man of many talents. He's the author of such gripping books for adults as the New York Times bestselling The Dark Side of the Game and American Outrage. Tim graduated covaledictorian from Syracuse University and was a first-round draft pick. He later earned his law degree with honors, and he has also worked as an NFL commentator for FOX Sports and NPR. His first book for young readers, Football Genius, inspired in part by his players and his own kids, became a New York Times bestseller and was followed by Football Hero, Football Champ, The Big Time, and Deep Zone. He drew on his experiences playing and coaching Little League for Rivals and Pinch Hit and two more New York Times bestsellers: Baseball Great and Best of the Best. Bestselling author Jon Scieszka called Tim Green's Unstoppable, a book about a boy's struggle with cancer that debuted at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, "Absolutely heroic. And something every guy should read." Tim Green lives with his wife, Illyssa, and their five children in upstate New York.
