Mixed Signals (Pink Parrots, No 3)
Lambie avatar reviewed on + 12 more book reviews


From the back of the book: "The Pink Parrots are behind and hot tempered. Terry DiSunno has to face the league's coolest pitcher, who is known as "The Iceman". While the rest of her teammates on the all-girls team are psyched out by Iceman's wrap-around black shades and his major attitude, Terry isn't going to let him do a number on her. Or is she?
Her hit starts a rally that ignites the Parrots. But Terry's clashes with the Iceman have only begun. She seems to run into him everywhere, and the chemistry between these two excellent players is a combination of fire and ice that has Terry confused and frustrated.
Alienated from her parents, who are divorced, Terry turns to her friend and teammate, Jazz Jaffe. Jazz knows more about boys and about playing rightfield and has lots of advice for Terry. But things get heated up when Lindsay Cunningham, the most popular girl in the seventh grade, takes a liking to "The Iceman"...
