How Lamar's Bad Prank Won a Bubba-Sized Trophy

284 pp. | HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray | March, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-199272-8 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old Lamar lives for bowling, so much so that he's easily convinced that joining up with a hustler to bowl for money will get him everything he wants. When his partner gets caught and their activities are exposed, Lamar has to make things right with his friends and family. Lamar's voice is quirky and authentic and his right-and-wrong struggles are diverting.
