Ninth grader Jonah is not a jock. On the contrary, he loves history class and nerdy movies, and his athletic ineptitude verges on tragic. So what's he doing signing up for the baseball team? Could it have something to do with the cute shortstop, Elliot? For the rest of high school, Jonah faces challenges on and off the baseball field, from heteronormative social pressure to thrilling romance. Realising who his real friends are, he figures out what really matters and finally recognises and embraces his gay identity. Based on debut author-illustrator Jonah Newman's coming-of-age experiences, 'Out of Left Field' is a big-hearted and funny YA graphic novel about learning to be yourself.
