Details

Mabel, Mississippi, is so small that there are only enough kids for one baseball team, and they only get to play one real game a year, on July fourth. No one is looking forward to the game more than pitcher House Jackson, who has finally recovered from a broken arm. There's only one problem: their town has scheduled the Aurora County Birthday Pageant for the exact same time as the game-and the All Stars' parents have signed them all up to perform! As usual, it's up to House to find a solution.

The problem is, the pageant is scheduled for July 4, in conflict with the annual baseball game against the rival Raleigh Redbugs. House Jackson has spent a year rehabbing the arm broken in a collision with Frances Schotz, and he is not going to miss this year’s game. House spent much of the rehab reading to the dying Mr. Norwood Boyd, whose bequest to House after his death leads House to examine the town’s heritage and the prejudices still alive. Topics Baseball.
