(3) 4-6 With Kevin Cowherd. This book follows the Matt Christopher series formula, which will be a draw for fans of those sports books: players confront a problem, they play baseball, and things improve. Robbie Hammond, pitcher for the Dulaney Orioles, loses his control because of fears he'll hit a batter as he did last season. The short chapters and sports action will appeal to middle-grade readers.
