Andrews McMeel Publishing The Super Sports Society Vol. 2
Book SynopsisPel's an all-star baseball legacy. Tommy eats, sleeps, and farts sports. The two friends will have to put their skills to the test in their first-ever travel tournament with their baseball team in the second book of this fun illustrated series told in dual POVs that's so hysterical you might just poop yourself. Perfect for fans of The Last Kids on Earth, Big Nate, and The Secret Zoo. When eleven-year-old Tommy made his hometown's baseball travel team, he thought he'd be set for life. He thought he'd be royalty. He thought he'd become a member of the Super Sports Society. And that's all kind of true . . . it will all happen, AFTER he wins his first travel tournament. Meanwhile, Tommy's best friend, Pel, is also going to his first tournament, and using his dad's old baseball glove is a punch-in-the-gut reminder that he's no longer here. Or, as Ma says, is he? Join Tommy, Pel, Diesel, Clutch, Alfredo, Goetz, and the members of the Bulldogs (wait . . . no, the TurdlesI) in their first-ever travel baseball tournament. Of course, there's tons of LOL-worthy moments, like a laser tag game gone wrong, an incident involving bunch of chili flakes on pepperoni pizza (don't try that one at home), and a rival team that's gotta go down. Hopefully. This book is the second in The Super Sports Society series by Bryan Chick and Brett Radlicki. It's humor at its finest, interwoven with lessons about life, friendship, coming-of-age, battling anxiety both on and off the field, and grief. 'Equal parts baseball and potty humor with an added whiff of conflict resolution.' - Kirkus, for The Super Sports Society vol. 1'The dialogue between characters will make the reader feel like they are in the huddle alongside Tommy and Pel!' - Matt Eicheldinger, bestselling author of Matt Sprouts and the Curse of the Ten Broken Toes 'Bryan Chick and Brett Radlicki hit an easy home run with The Super Sports Society. Full of heart and humor, The Super Sports Society is cool enough to wear sunglasses indoors.' - Terrance Crawford, bestselling author of the Piggy series

Amazon Publishing When Jackie and Hank Met
Book SynopsisJackie and Hank were born eight years and one thousand miles apart. Nobody knew these babies would grow up and play baseball. Nobody knew Jackie and Hank would meet and become heroes. Jackie Robinson and Hank Greenberg were two very different people. But they both became Major League Baseball players, and they both faced a lot of the same challenges in their lives and careers. For Jackie, it was because of his skin color. For Hank, it was because of his religion. On May 17, 1947 these two men met for the first time colliding at first base in a close play. While the crowd urged them to fight, Jackie and Hank chose a different path. This is the story of two men who went on to break the barriers of race and religion in American sports and became baseball legends in the process. Beautiful text by Cathy Goldberg Fishman is paired with sumptuous paintings by Mark Elliott. Generous back matter material includes a photo and prose biography of each man, timelines, quotes, resources to learn more, and a selected bibliography.
