Publisher's Synopsis
Future Star is the story of how age and skin color are forgotten. Slugger, a ten-year-old white boy, lives next door to a ninety-three year old black man named Kellogg. As Kellogg shares his life's wisdom and knowledge of baseball, Slugger seeks advice on handling a teammate's bullying problem as well as reaching his dream--becoming a pro baseball player. A 1948 signed World Series baseball, Cleveland's new stadium, a birthday party, a "For Sale" sign, and the "big game" are just some of the things that make this historical fiction a joy to read.
