Book Synopsis

Smiley meets The Sandlot in this animal friendship story about a boy named Charlie who wants nothing more than to be a good baseball player, and Scout, the stray Border Collie mix who will help make his dreams come true. Perfect for fans of M. C. Ross and Katherine Applegate.

Mikey Donahue isn't having an easy time in Seattle. Ever since he moved there, he's felt like a benchwarmer in life, and he's convinced his baseball dreams are on hold forever when he joins the struggling Salmon Bay Sluggers . . .

Until he meets Scout, a stray Border Collie mix with one floppy ear and sharp instincts. She's been watching Mikey's practices from the sidelines--and she even joins the fun by fetching baseballs for the team!

Now, the Sluggers have a new mascot that helps boost the team's morale and Mikey's confidence. But will Scout be enough to help the team turn things around and win?

Review Quotes

Praise for The Dog's Meow

"This heartwarming, high-interest book for animal lovers captures the feelings of what it is like to be left out, ultimately concluding with a satisfying ... A sweet story about finding your role in the pack." --Kirkus Reviews

Praise for My Otter Half

"Readers will delight in the otter and puppy antics that unfold. Information about otter behavior and abilities is woven into the storyline along with descriptions of the environmental impact of oil spills ... Two cute animals teaming up means double the fun in this romping adventure." --Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Waddle I Do without You?

"Each chapter overlaps just a bit, with clues and epiphanies that move the action forward slowly at first, later building to a rapid, heart-stopping crescendo ... Complex, timely, and deeply moving." --Kirkus Reviews
