"Heat" Hits #1 - New York Times Bestseller List

cliff nielsen, ilustrator


Set in New York, it follows the lives of two young boys recently immigrated from Cuba who have suddenly been orphaned. Michael Arroyo, the protagonist of the story, has an extraordinary fastball, which makes him the hero to some but also attracts unwanted attention, particularly from one envious coach of a competing team. Artist Cliff Nielsen brilliantly portrays Michael at his finest on the cover of this winning book.

The book has received unadulterated acclaim from Publisher's Weekly, School Library Journal, and Kirkus Reviews among others.
