From Andrea Williams, the bestselling author of "We Are Family" with LeBron James, comes Inside the Park, the story of a young baseball fan's misadventures after getting locked inside a pro baseball stadium on the eve of the biggest game of the season. In this all-new, hilarious, action-packed middle grade tale, Timothy "Pumpsie" Strickland, a baseball-loving twelve-year-old, is about to step up to the plate for the biggest swing of his life. Pumpsie needs a win. Or to be more precise, he needs the Nashville Wildcats to win. Pumpsie's been waiting his entire life-twelve whole years!-for his favorite team to make it to the playoffs. And this year-finally!-they're just one win away. But when Pumpsie accidentally gets trapped in Lookout Field the night before the last game of the season, with only a lost dog named Campy for company, he may have accidentally stumbled into the best night of his life. For a baseball fan like Pumpsie, using the pro batting cages, running the bases, playing with the public address system, eating all the concession-stand junk food he can find is a dream come until he realizes he's not alone in the stadium. Foul plots are brewing beneath Lookout Field, and now it's on Pumpsie to swallow his fears, gum up his courage, and swing for the fences if he wants to save the Wildcat's post-season chances. "Inside the Park" is a fun-filled, action-packed slice of wish fulfillment that's perfect for fans of Mike Lupica and Tim Green, or perfect for any kid who's ever closed their eyes and imagined stepping up to the plate with the game tied and the season on the line
