The Girl, the Ring, & the Baseball BatThe Girl, the Ring, & the Baseball Bat

Rosie: Capricorn. Does great in class. Wants nothing more than to get into the prestigious Innovation Technical Institute and kiss this awful school goodbye. Her talisman: a magical jacket from her mother's past that gets people to do whatever she says. Caro: Leo. Rosie's older sister. Always been closer to their estranged father--and always butted heads more with their strict mother. A trip to Dominican Republic for her father's wedding leads her deep into family history that clears up any illusions about her parents she's ever had. Her talisman: a baseball bat that fixes whatever it breaks. Zeke: Certified Triple Pisces. Up in cold-ass Jersey City living with his aunt after his grandmother dies and his father moves to London to take care of his mother. He crushes on EVERYone--he knows he'll find happiness in love, and maybe a way out of this depression. His talisman: a ring that will make anyone fall in love with him. Rosie, Caro, and Zeke--and their talismans--find themselves intertwined in a magical, hilarious, and whip-smart Outsiders for the modern day, written by Pura Belpré Honor Winner Camille Gomera-Tavarez. Enhanced with sound effects and music throughout
