For 13-year old Mica, baseball is more than his favorite sport– it’s his path to tikkun olam, repairing the world. Got Balz? follows this intrepid teenager as he prepares for his bar mitzvah, collects baseball gear for Cuban kids, and gives thanks to the island that sheltered his grandfather during World War II. There’s just one curve ball: the United States embargo of Cuba. In this charming coming of age story, Mica’s effort to complete the cycle of compassion that brought his grandfather to safety reveals just how big and messy the adult world can be.
