Out in Left Field

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Matt Collins. In this sequel to When the Sergeant Came Marching Home, eleven-year-old Donald tries desperately to erase "the hideous moment out in left field" when he dropped a fly ball. His episodic attempts at archery, truck driving, and slough hockey all come to humorous ends, but his earnest grabs at greatness invite the readers' sympathies.
