This is a truly engaging account of the life and times of an exceptional woman athlete and the league which provided her the opportunity to play professional baseball-a dream held by many young girl softball and baseball enthusiasts, past and present. - Merrie A. Fidler, author of The Origins and History of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League When readers think back on sports news from 2014 and remember 13-year-old female pitcher Mo'Ne Davis at the Little League Baseball World Series games, they will be pleased to come across this biography of a key female athlete... This solid title could be used for reports and will fill a gap in biography collections. - School Library Journal The very readable main text is supplemented with many sidebars on topics such as Kammie's stats and the league's contributions to the war effort. A solid choice for sports-minded girls and fans of the movie A League of Their Own. -Booklist A solid look at Kamenshek's youth and career, and life after baseball... [Also] includes sidebars about the Depression, the role of women in World War II and the popularity of the name Dorothy (Kammie got her nickname because there was another Dottie playing for the Peaches-and at one point, there were five!). - Akron Beacon Journal
