A technology-fueled world, a thrilling gravity-defying sport, and a ragtag team of players determined to win against all odds.
Saved from an imploding earth by a race of benevolent aliens, Nico is a plucky young sports player with a dream of making it big in their futuristic gravity ball game called Batey. But it won’t be that simple. Faced with teams of cyborgs and genetically modified human opponents, can an ordinary, ragtag group of boys hope to compete in the Batey tournament and come out on top?
As an imaginative speculative fiction story with fun themes about an ancient cultural sport re-imagined in a futuristic sci-fi world, Batey Ascending is a memorable and engaging read that’s packed with high-stakes action, drama, suspense, and so much more.
As a great way to get kids and teens alike into books and imbue them with a love of reading, this riveting tale will offer them thought-provoking new perspectives in this sports-themed Quidditch meets Alita: Battle Angel adventure.
