Book 3 in the Lady Tigers Series

by Dawn Brotherton

A new team member for the Lady Tigers could spell the recipe for victory . . . or disaster.

Nicole Carter’s fastpitch softball team has a fantastic reputation as good players, win or lose. When a new girl, Diana, is introduced to the team, Nicole is excited to show her the ins and outs of being a Lady Tiger. But when Diana threatens both Nicole’s position at third base and her love of the game, the team becomes buried in drama. Will the girls be able to find their team spirit again in time for the tournament or will their attitudes take them out of the running before the game even starts?

Nicole’s New Friend covers the underestimated importance of sportsmanship in youth competitive athletics. As the third installment in Dawn Brotherton’s Lady Tigers Series, Nicole’s New Friend is the perfect mix of emotion and action in a chapter book aimed at supporting young women as they learn what it truly means to be a part of a team.

Discover the true recipe for victory in Nicole’s New Friend.

LitPick gives Nicole’s New Friend a 5-star review!

reviews, 5-star, opinion, litpick“Nicole’s New Friend, the third book in the Lady Tigers Series by Dawn Brotherton, was a fast and enjoyable read. It ties in nicely with other books in the series, but because each book introduces the characters again, it can stand on its own. There are a lot of characters, and the dialogue between them is a big part of the story.

I liked how the book stressed the values of friendship, forgiveness, and sportsmanship. Nicole’s New Friend shows how one person with a bad attitude can ruin team spirit for everyone. It teaches kids that sports aren’t all about winning, that the fun of the game is more important. The Lady Tigers never give up, even when it seems like they can’t possibly win, a great lesson for tween athletes.”-LitPick

“Brotherton has a solid grasp of softball mechanics, and the book has no shortage of ballplaying scenes that will capture athletic readers’ imaginations.” – Kirkus Review
