by Russell Hoban; Lillian Hoban (Illustrator)

First line
It was a pleasant summer morning, so Frances took her bat and her ball and some chocolate sandwich cookies and went outside.
From the rear cover
Sisters that are much too small
To throw a catch or bat a ball
Are really not much good at all . . .
Frances doesn't think her younger sister Gloria can be her friend. Besides, Albert is Frances's friend. But when Albert has a no-girls baseball game, Frances sets out to prove to Albert a thing or two about friendship--and what girls can do. Along the way, Frances discovers that sisters can indeed be friends . . . maybe even best friends.
