The book is about a chubby kid who gets picked on at school a lot because he's chubby. He lives with his single mom who works a lot but who also plays softball. Turns out, the kid is great at hitting, but has never shown any of the other kids at all he can hit. Also, his prized possession is a sea shell that is olive colored.
