(Which, frankly, I found to be just as unsettling.) Rather, it sits naturally within the story it exists in the book’s world as it does in our world. However, she doesn’t allow it to overwhelm the story. She continues to include the pervasiveness of racism. Once again, Stone doesn’t shy away from tough topics. But at what cost? As she works to uncover the mystery, the regional championships hang in the balance. When Shenice’s great-uncle tells her about a crime a family member allegedly committed, she decides to pursue her own investigation. She’s focused and ready to win regional championships until life throws her a curveball. Shenice Lockwood is the captain of her softball team, the Fulton Firebirds. In Fast Pitch, Stone brings readers to the dugout. The bases are loaded, and she’s poised to make a game-winning hit. Batter up! Fast Pitch, Nic Stone’s next book, is almost here, and there are no strikes, fouls, or outs in sight.
