From School Library Journal Gr 5–8—After hitting a two-run homer in the third inning that ties the championship game, Tommy Rust finds himself at bat, poised to bring in the game-winning run. Then his dad shows up and Tommy knows he's not there to watch the big game. It's time to run. For as long as Tommy can remember, this is how they live- going from town to town, always under a different name. By the time Tommy and his dad reach their destination, a little town in Upstate New York, he has memorized his new name, Brock Nickerson, and managed to push down his anger at being uprooted yet again. In an attempt to fit in at his new school, Brock accepts a dare and throws a rock through Coach Hudgens's window. The Coach, admiring Brock's throwing arm, offers a ticket out of trouble: he wants Brock to join the travel team. Brock and the Coach are compelling and sympathetically drawn characters. Brock's dad is not as fleshed out and comes across as inconsistent. While the baseball action is engaging, the mystery surrounding the father and what he does for a living is never fully explained. This lack of resolution may hint at future installments.—Brenda Kahn, Tenakill Middle School, Closter, NJ
Review “Exciting, romantic and thought-provoking, this book scores a home run. ” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))“Engrossing.” (The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)
From the Back Cover
It's hard being the new kid, both on and off the field.
It's bases loaded, bottom of the last inning, and Tommy Rust is up at bat in the championship game. This is the moment he's been waiting for. But then his father barges onto the field, and Tommy knows what will happen next. They will be leaving immediately—again—because Tommy and his dad are on the run.
Now Tommy is in a new school, in a new town, and he is no longer known as Tommy. Brock Nickerson is the name of the new kid, and finding a place for himself is proving to be a challenge, especially when his new friend is the bully from the wrong side of the tracks. Things aren't looking good for Brock, so to fit in he accepts a dare to throw a rock at the travel-team coach's window.
Coach Hudgens has demons of his own, and many say he's "washed up." The travel team he's been running has lost every game in the last year. But, when Coach catches Brock in the act, he's more impressed by his pitching arm than angry at the prank. Can Brock save Coach's team . . . and maybe Coach himself? Or will Brock's father make him be the new kid in yet another town?

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. New Kid By Anonymous This book is a five star rating for me.Characters:The characters were good and developed throughout the story. Each of them had a role and there were no characters that were just "there."Plot:The book started and ended with a bit of confusion which was cleared within a paragraph. The plot is about a good baseball player who is always the new kid for unknown reasons from his dad. You find out what those are. Though some things are not clear at times, you will not feel like you are missing out on any info.QualityThe grammar punctuation and story line all made sense and was good with the book.Recommend forI would recommend this book for boys, mostly as it's about baseball but girls can read it to, ages 12-15 as some of the content ( guns drinking death beating other kids up etc) is probably not suited or prefered for kids under that age.Hope this helped and happy reading!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Challenges Of A New Kid By Marvin P. Ferguson When there is a new kid on the block it's some times hard to fit in. Do you know what I mean? It happened in the movie "Sandlot," and it looks like the same thing is about to happen here. I hate clicks.Brock is the new kid on the block. He is always on the run, living in one town after another and never getting the opportunity to settle down in one place. It looked like the new kid syndrome would never leave him. And who likes to be outside the loop with all your peers or so-called friends?But there is a happy ending to this dilemma. Through circumstances unknown to Brock he's challenged to throw a rock through Coach Hudgren's window. Thus through an unexpected circumstance the Coach is impressed with Brock's throwing arm and invites him to join the traveling baseball team. Now Brock has an in with the other guys. And who says there's no such thing as luck?Tim Green does an excellent job here in giving baseball fanatics another baseball story that is filled with sports action while tugging at the emotional heart. Kids of all ages will love this baseball tale. Marvin P. Ferguson, author of THE UNKNOWN BASEBALL PLAYER.
