About This Book

Play ball!

That's what the sixth-grade Buckman Badgers baseball team plans to do. Eddie Malloy and Jake Hatford hope to lead their team to the championship game the last Saturday in May. But thanks to a mix-up, Mrs. Hatford has to run a yard sale for the Women's Auxiliary of the Buckman fire department the very same day in their very own yard.

Not wanting to miss out on the game, the Hatfords elect the only non-baseball fan in the family, Wally, to stay home and help watch over the sale tables until they return. Wally is ticked off. On top of that, Caroline Malloy has written a play for a school project and has roped Wally into costarring with her. Caroline thinks she's so smart -- but Wally has his own reason for being in the play.

After the girls stumble across an embarrassing item from the boys' past, it looks as if the Hatfords will be totally humiliated. Leave it to Wally to turn the tables on the girls' scheme and prove who's really in control. Boys rule!

Phyllis Reynolds Naylor wows readers again with this newest hilarious escapade by the Hatford boys and the Malloy girls.
