Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Welcome to Moundville, where its 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 its still pouring.

Baseball camp is over, and Roy knows hes 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 isnt weird enough, just a few days after Sturgiss arrival, the sun comes out. No one can explain why the rain has finally stopped, but as far as Roys concerned, its time to play some baseball. Its time to get a Moundville team together and finish what was started 22 years ago. Its time for a rematch.
