    About this ebook

    In 1950, Kathryn Johnston wanted to play Little League, but an unwritten rule kept girls from trying out. So she cut off her hair and tried out as a boy under the nickname "Tubby." She made the team—and inspired future generations. An inspiring and suspenseful story about what it means to want to do something so badly you're willing to break the rules—and how, sometimes, breaking the rules can lead to change.
