Official synopsis Publisher
In the Heights meets Front Desk in this heartwarming and funny illustrated story about an injured boy and his newly-adopted three-legged cat.
Baseball means everything to Gregory. Not just because it feels like he’s flying when he hits a homerun, but also since it reminds him of summers spent playing with his cousin in the Dominican Republic. But when his accident benches him for the season, he’s doomed to sitting around his parents’ bodega all day long.
For street cat Amber, who was born with a missing leg and left on the street as a kitten, life has always been about staying away from danger, keeping her belly full, and finding joy in the little things. But when she spots a human boy whose leg is broken, she remembers what it’s like to need help when you feel lost and alone. How far will these two go to make a friend when they need one most?
