Synopsis

The BallShark™ Select Baseball Series is a baseball adventure for young players, their families and fans of all ages! Why? Because anyone who has participated in the youth baseball experience knows how it can utterly consume a family. From late night practices to important mid-week batting cage excursions to tournament schedules that often eat up entire weekends, your whole family lives baseball during the course of a season. The BallShark™ Select Baseball Series has something for all of you. For every player who eats, sleeps, and breathes the game. For every dad who simply watches with pride from the sideline, or wears the dual title and awesome responsibility of Coach. For every mom who hates white baseball pants because they are too easily stained by orange infield dirt, but scrubs them anyway because she loves the boy who wears them. For every sibling who dreams of a concession stand serving the sort of ultimate frozen concoction that can only be found inside BallShark’s fictional Baseball World theme park. And for every person, young and old, who loves the sport that has always been our favorite National Pastime. Inside the BallShark™ Select Baseball Series you’ll find warm characters, bits of interesting Major League Baseball history, and many of the cherished values we have long prized as a nation. You’ll also find curious individuals who are led by a mysterious set of coincidences toward something totally unexpected, something infinitely greater than the game, but something that will change their lives forever. Welcome to the BallShark™ Select Baseball Series, the heart warming story of rising young star Ryne Dunston and his baseball team, the Intimidators. Told through the eyes of Ryne and his father, BallShark combines baseball, family, and faith into an epic journey for fans of all ages. When a mysterious Polynesian player arrives from Hawai'i to join their team, Ryne and his teammates are amazed by baseball skills unlike any they have ever seen. Soon the Intimidators begin a spectacular rise toward the top of the summer league standings and earn their way into the playoffs, held in the most amazing youth baseball complex ever conceived, the Baseball World theme park located in the heart of Texas. As the Intimidators prepare for their first round playoff series, their amazingly talented teammate from Hawai'i suddenly disappears. With his team suddenly racked by doubt, Ryne searches for a way to capture the spirit of the Intimidators' most valuable player through the power of a unique talisman. But is the shark-like power of their teammate truly embodied in the strange charm, and can it carry the Intimidators to their goal, a coveted spot in the inaugural Baseball World Championship Series? In Book One of this unique, family friendly series, Ryne Dunston and his teammates find themselves caught up in the whirlwind culture of youth baseball. When their summer season begins and the mysterious newcomer joins their squad, everyone knows that something about the curious player from Hawai'i is different. Yet just as the presence of their new teammate begins to stir something deep—even primal—in the players and their families, the Intimidators' new star vanishes, setting the stage for the BallShark™ Select Baseball Series, a mysterious and highly engaging blend of baseball, family and adventure.
