Aaron is a 12-year-old baseball phenom, but only when he's playing in the field. At the plate, he struggles. Now, it's the last inning of the last game of the season, and Aaron's in the batter's box, down by one with the bases loaded. Just as he steps up to the plate, Aaron spots his superstar-athlete older brother, Will, who completely abandoned him at the worst possible time. Can Aaron come through in the clutch when his team needs him most, and will his brother come through for him and their family? In the Clutch hooks readers with a do-or-die moment from little league sports, then rewinds to show how the books' young athletes found themselves needing to perform under pressure.
