The Super Sluggers: Wall Ball

Zusatztext Rave reviews for Slumpbuster: "A lively . . . read [for] fans of Matt Christopher's sports stories! or readers who simply appreciate play-by-play action." Informationen zum Autor Kevin Markey thinks "rain" and "out," when used together, are two of the saddest words in the English language. When speaking of weather, "snow" and "day" are much better! Other word combinations as compelling in their way as a bang-bang play on the bases include "greasy slider," "late-inning heroics," and "lasting friendships," concepts that all appear in this book . . . which he hopes will induce gales of laughter (another good one) in every reader. Kevin is the author of Slumpbuster , Wall Ball , and Wing Ding , all in his Super Sluggers series of baseball adventures, and several books of nonfiction. He lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, with his wife and two children and a lovable yellow-haired dog named Happy. He bats left, throws left, and types with both hands. Klappentext Record-breaking snowfalls in Rambletown have postponed Opening Day of the Rounders' baseball season three times!

Just like a crash-test dummy. The Rounders will need a miracle?or a really big shovel?to put the brakes on Orlando's collision course with the wall and this never-ending cold spell.
