When Alta Weiss throws a corncob at a tomcat chasing her favorite hen, folks know one thing for sure: she may be a girl, but she's got some arm. At the age of six Alta can nail any target, and by seventeen she's outpitched every boy in town. Then one day her father takes Alta to Vermilion, Ohio -- home of the semipro baseball team called the Independents. "Where do I sign up?" she asks. But one look at Alta tells the coach all he needs to know: She's a girl, and girls can't play baseball. But faster than you can say "strike out," Alta proves him wrong: Girls can play baseball!

“I was inspired to write ‘There’s No Mouse In My New House’ after moving to my townhouse in Maryland. While sitting on the floor arranging photos in an album, I observed a small shadow exiting the from the room. It was too small to be anything other than a mouse. Soon, those dreadful creatures that I feared became the subject of this book. Perhaps writing stories about them is therapeutic because I have a sequel in the works.” –Jean Smith Andrews
