The Grumpy Player Next Door by Pippa Grant

medium-paced

4.5

4.5 very grumpy MMC stars !!

Max Cole, pitcher for the Copper Valley Fireballs, didn’t mean to get caught up in the antics that is the epic prank war between his teammate Copper and his little sister Tillie-Jean Rock .. but one glitter bomb gone wrong and it’s game on . And after four years of pretending to be the biggest grump in the world so that Tillie-Jean didn’t know he has feelings for her, the two of them finally decide that it is so worth giving into . Not only is this probably one of the funniest Pippa books because there is always some type of prank going on, but there is also a great mental help rep of anxiety and panic attacks that Max deals with . It was also such a treat to have everyone back in Shipwreck while they are training during the off season . 

This audiobook is book three in the Copper Valley Fireballs series and it can be listened to as a complete stand alone . Although I recommend reading this in Pippa’s preferred reading order so you can meet all of the incredible side characters and not get them mixed up .
