I'm not really sure what I myself ever called them either.

It's for ages 9-12. <BR/><BR/>"Welcome to Moundville, where it’s been raining for longer than Roy McGuire has been alive. Most people say the town is cursed—right in the middle of their big baseball game against rival town Sinister Bend, black clouds crept across the sky and it started to rain. That was 22 years ago . . . and it’s still pouring.<BR/><BR/>Baseball camp is over, and Roy knows he’s in for a dreary, soggy summer. But when he returns home, he finds a foster kid named Sturgis sprawled out on his couch. As if this isn’t weird enough, just a few days after Sturgis’s arrival, the sun comes out. No one can explain why the rain has finally stopped, but as far as Roy’s concerned, it’s time to play some baseball. It’s time to get a Moundville team together and finish what was started 22 years ago. It’s time for a rematch." <BR/><BR/>This sounds interesting to me, as a girl that loves books about baseball, but doesn't care too much for actually watching a real game. ;) I can see this being a big hit with boys.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740722462625566679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-29721751628757902362008-10-12T20:34:00.000+02:002008-10-12T20:34:00.000+02:00If these don't get boys reading, nothing will!If these don't get boys reading, nothing will!Ladytink_534https://www.blogger.com/profile/14317480621483829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-69830865127197926242008-10-12T15:09:00.000+02:002008-10-12T15:09:00.000+02:00I've got Rune Warriors on my TBR list - I really n...I've got Rune Warriors on my TBR list - I really need to get to it.Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414000031911454853noreply@blogger.com
