Ryan's Home Run

What would you do if you had to change high schools right before your senior year? What would you do if you went from being one of the popular to being one of the bullied? Ryan Harris is forced to change schools when her step-dad accepts a job two hours away from her home town of Kansas City. In KC everyone knows that Ryan is the daughter of starting pitcher for the KC Critters Tyler Yates. Now that Ryan is in Temple she decided to keep her famous dad to herself and make her way through high school the same as every other teenage girl.
What Ryan was not prepared for was Bradley Thomas. Brad Thomas is the starting pitcher for Temple High and the reining king of the school, who has lost his pitching edge. On the first day of school he sees the nerdy new girl walking down the "elite" hallway and takes his bad mood out on her. Brad lets Ryan know that he does not like little upstarts with a bad attitude. From that day Brad has made it his mission to mess with Ryan. Ryan wants nothing more than for Brad to just go away and leave her alone.
Ryan sees a way to get Brad to leave her alone by helping him get his pitching mojo back and she takes it. After Ryan helps Brad when no one else would or could all he wants is to get closer to her. Brad needs to show Ryan that he is really a good guy and that he is truly sorry for ever bullying her. Will Ryan forgive Brad?Will Brad ever get the girl? There is only one way to find out if this one-time bully can change his stripes and get the only girl that has ever stood up to him.
Ryan's Home Run is a story of a bully who sees his victim in another light and now must fight to make her is. This book is filled with humor and "mean girls" who think that they can win against nerds. There is occasionally strong language but is otherwise clean. There is a guaranteed Happy Ending.
