Book details
The Super Sluggers: Wall Ball
Description
Record-breaking snowfalls in Rambletown have postponed Opening Day of the Rounders' baseball season three times. As the team tries to 'warm up' on the icy field, they welcome a new center fielder, Orlando Ramirez. He's as fast as a cheetah and catches everything—right before smashing into the outfield wall like a crash-test dummy. The Rounders will need a miracle—or a really big shovel—to prevent Orlando's continuous collisions with the wall and to end the relentless cold spell.
