A Long Pitch Home by Natalie Dias Lorenzi

A sensitive and endearing middle grade novel about a young Pakistani immigrant adjusting to his new life in contemporary America

Ten-year-old Bilal liked his life back home in Pakistan. He was a star on his cricket team. But when his father suddenly sends the family to live with their aunt and uncle in America, nothing is familiar. While Bilal tries to keep up with his cousin Jalaal by joining a baseball league and practicing his English, he wonders when his father will join the family in Virginia. Maybe if Bilal can prove himself on the pitcher's mound, his father will make it to see him play.

But playing baseball means navigating relationships with the guys, and with Jordan, the only girl on the team-the player no one but Bilal wants to be friends with.
