I Told You So!: Strike Three, You're Out!

The boys are back—and the chaos is hitting new heights (literally).

From a pitching machine gone wild to a floating balloon chair that takes off without warning, William and Thomas have a knack for turning ordinary days into hilarious disasters. There’s a mummy that won’t stay wrapped, a work project that goes sideways fast, and a talent show that proves not everyone’s meant for the stage.

Whether they’re launching off giant ramps or launching into trouble, these two friends know how to hit it out of the park—just not always on purpose.

Perfect for ages 6–10
Full of fast-paced fun, friendship, and laugh-out-loud moments
Great for reluctant readers and fans of over-the-top adventures
Ideal for fans of Big Nate, Dog Man, and Wimpy Kid

Packed with heart, humour, and a few near misses, Strike Three, You’re Out! shows that when imagination and mischief team up, anything can happen—and probably will.

Mark Gunning grew up in Chippawa, Ontario where he spent most of his youth playing outside with his friends. They had many fun adventures together and this has helped create some of the stories you have enjoyed today.
A former teacher with the DSBN, Mark started his idea of writing children's stories back in 2010 to share some of his stories with his students. It was in 2017 that he finally wrote his first book. He and his wife Stephanie, have three children, and two dogs named Ozzie and Chewie.
