Girl Who Threw Butterflies

Girl Who Threw Butterflies by Mick Cochrane

Molly Williams is an eighth-grader with more than her share of problems. Her father has died in a car accident and her mother is spending all of her time working and no time talking to Molly. Molly and her dad spent a lot of time playing catch in their backyard when he was alive, and she decides to join the boys' baseball team because she can throw a perfect knuckleball, something not many high school students can do. Throughout the course of the baseball season, Molly learned many lessons about relationships and overcoming adversity. Despite the main character being a girl, anyone who has lost someone can relate to the storyline in this well-written book.
