In order to win an important baseball game, twelve-year-old Kyle claims to have made a difficult catch, which he actually dropped.
The unearned win gives Kyle and his team an unfair advantage in the championship series, and everyone considers him the hero of the game. But the praise and attention he receives is not enough to silence his conscience. Kyle is afraid of disappointing his family and teammates with the truth, but he is increasingly uneasy in his deception. Then his sports-crazed grandmother tells him about Christy Mathewson, a pitcher whose reputation for honesty had umpires asking him to make calls during games. In the end Kyle learns a valuable lesson about sportsmanship and realizes that being a hero is only worthwhile if you have earned it.
Author Fred Bowen continues his Sports Story series with play-by-play action that’s sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats! An afterword provides the real story of Christy Mathewson.

Told in a series of letters to his grandchild back home, Grandfather and Roo, a remarkable little dog with strong views and a short attention span, are off to Australia on an expedition to find long-lost Uncle Vincent, who ran away to seek his fortune years ago. Venturing up the Snakey River to Gold Town, Grandfather and Roo endure blistering heat, a rebellious camel, and disreputable kangaroos, as they head off on foot to find the Gold Field, last known home of Uncle Vincent.
