Lucky Lou Gets Game, a young adult novel from author Sarah Yates is a coming-of-age story that is both inspirational and down-to-earth funny. Yates pushes the limits of her unusual heroine's abilities.
Seventeen-year old Lou Starr has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair but she is a bold and self-effacing heroine. Her cousin Sam refuses to take her disability as an excuse for her not playing baseball. He and a group of friends help Lou, her wildly outspoken friend Libby and a motley team of others learn to play the game. But the undertaking has unexpected consequences. As commentator, back catcher and leader in a community project, Lou gets game and gets the boy she sets her heart on!
Lucky Lou Gets Game, a first cut in the first Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award (2010), is Sarah Yates fourth book featuring a one-of-a-kind heroine.
