Keeping Score by Linda Sue Park
In 1950s Brooklyn, a young Dodgers superfan befriends a firefighter who teaches her how to keep score, turning baseball into a language of hope and connection. When he is sent to the Korean War and his letters stop, she clings to her scorebook and rituals, convinced they might help bring him home and deliver a long-awaited victory. Through seasons of waiting, she learns about friendship, loss, resilience, and the solace found in small acts of devotion.
