Pel's an all-star baseball legacy. Tommy eats, sleeps, and farts sports. The two friends will have to put their skills to the test in their first-ever travel tournament with their baseball team in the second book of this fun illustrated series told in dual POVs that's so hysterical you might just poop yourself. Perfect for fans of The Last Kids on Earth, Big Nate, and The Secret Zoo. When eleven-year-old Tommy made his hometown's baseball travel team, he thought he'd be set for life. He thought he'd be royalty. He thought he'd become a member of the Super Sports Society. And that's all kind of true . . . it will all happen, AFTER he wins his first travel tournament. Meanwhile, Tommy's best friend, Pel, is also going to
his first tournament, and using his dad's old baseball glove is a punch-in-the-gut reminder that he's no longer here. Or, as Ma says, is he?
Join Tommy, Pel, Diesel, Clutch, Alfredo, Goetz, and the members of the Bulldogs (wait . . . no, the
TurdlesI) in their first-ever travel baseball tournament. Of course, there's tons of LOL-worthy moments, like a laser tag game gone wrong, an incident involving bunch of chili flakes on pepperoni pizza (don't try that one at home), and a rival team that's gotta go
down. Hopefully.
This book is the second in
The Super Sports Society series by Bryan Chick and Brett Radlicki. It's humor at its finest, interwoven with lessons about life, friendship, coming-of-age, battling anxiety both on and off the field, and grief.
"Equal parts baseball and potty humor with an added whiff of conflict resolution." - Kirkus, for The Super Sports Society vol. 1 "The dialogue between characters will make the reader feel like they are in the huddle alongside Tommy and Pel!" - Matt Eicheldinger, bestselling author of Matt Sprouts and the Curse of the Ten Broken Toes "Bryan Chick and Brett Radlicki hit an easy home run with The Super Sports Society. Full of heart and humor, The Super Sports Society is cool enough to wear sunglasses indoors." - Terrance Crawford, bestselling author of the Piggy series
