Lucky the dog tries to regain his spot as left fielder on his master's losing baseball team after a new coach arrives and banishes Lucky from the ball park

Grade 2-4-- A companion story to A Boy in the Doghouse (S. & S., 1991) that stands on its own. George and his baseball-loving pup, Lucky, are excited about Coach Chet, his friend's older brother who is home this summer from playing college baseball and has promised to help their team. Unfortunately, not only does Chet forbid dogs on the field, but he also offers the young boys chewing tobacco, encouraging them to ". . . try it. It'll make a ball player out of you." In an easy to follow and amusing style, Duffey expresses both the viewpoints of George and Lucky in alternate chapters as they work through these problems. Readers will agonize with Lucky as he tries to dig out of the shed to join the boys and again as he rolls around in the grass with a stomachache from the tobacco he has tried. Numerous full-page, black-and-white drawings are somewhat static, but do capture some of the dog's antics. Those new to chapter books will stay with the story until the end. This is one of Duffey's best efforts to date. --Blair Christolon, Prince William Library, Manassas, VA
