Insects in the Infield - Paperback

by Nancy Oswald (Author)

Ants, bees, dragonflies, limping millipedes... Buster would rather ignore his brainy sister Maggie's insect zoo, but he needs her help with the carnival fundraiser for his baseball team, the Cougars. Unfortunately, Buster needs more than fundraising help from his sister. His failing math grade is at a full count-one more strike and he won't be able to play in the game against the three Pirate bullies: Chewy, Ace, and Rip. The town of Ashville may never be the same after these rival teams clash. Bugs and baseball don't mix.
