A timely and heartfelt follow-up to #1 New York Times bestseller Heat, about a young baseball prodigy and his immigrant family living in today\'s America. Twelve-year-old star Little League pitcher Nick Garcia has a dream. Several in fact. He dreams he\'ll win this season\'s MVP and the chance to throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium. He dreams he\'ll meet his hero, Yankee\'s pitcher Michael Arroyo. He dreams they\'ll find a cure for Lupus so he sister won\'t have to suffer. But mostly, he dreams one day his family can stop living in fear of the government. For one kid, it\'s almost too much to bear. Luckily, Nick has his two best friends Ben and Diego to keep him balanced. But when Nick notices a mysterious man lurking on his street corner, he senses a threat. Suddenly, his worst fears are realized, and just when it seems there\'s no one they can trust, an unexpected hero emerges and changes everything.
