#94 The Toilet Paper Tigers


Are you in Little League? Corey Johnson and his friends are - and they're looking forward to another fun season, until they find out that their coach, the lovable Professor Pendergast, forgot to show up on the day of the draft (so they got all the players not picked by any other team)! Worse than that, he doesn't even know a thing about baseball! How can they win?

To make matters worse, PP has left the coaching duties to his annoying granddaughter, Kristy Pendergast, who is visiting from New York. Kristy is sure that she can whip the team into shape to win their games - but so far it looks like they can't even get to first base. Their uniforms have pictures of toilet paper on them, their catcher is afraid of the ball, their right fielder falls asleep during the game, and Kristy seems to have mixed up and offended everyone! She even took a picture of the boys in the locker room while they were changing...just to have something to blackmail them with.

This fun baseball book is typical Gordon Korman humor. It's a great book to read just as you're beginning your summer baseball. And it will make your team look like they could win the Little League World Series!
