Product Description
Danny Gurkin believes in his heart that the Sluggers are the best team in baseball. There's just the small matter of breaking a century-old curse involving a pretzel, a bubble-gum tycoon, and a missing shortstop. Danny also believes that the outcome of Sluggers' games depends on him and hot dogs. Because eating two hot dogs with everything before each game is the best kind of luck a fan can give his team. Danny Ghurkin has a date with baseball destiny; he just doesn't know it. Yet. |

another winner 
My eight year old baseball nut of a grandson read this cover to cover yesterday as he traveled with his family to Arizona for camping and a couple of spring training games. Given its length, his parents thought it would keep him busy for a couple of days. Not so.

A Great Book From A Great Author!
I knew the author, Paul Haven, as a teenager in NY, so when I saw this book I had to pick it up and read it. This book had me smiling the whole way through. I enjoyed every page. I am eager to pass it along to my pre-teen nephews who play baseball for their town. I will certainly save a copy for my son when he is old enough to read it. Reading this book brought back memories of listening to the author and friends discussing baseball in Central Park 20 years ago. Some passions never die! Great book, Paul. I can't wait to read your next one! -LS

Man oh man
My 9-year old son loved this book. He writes: This was definitely the best baseball book I have ever read! The main character, Danny Gurkin has tons of crazy ideas about giving the sluggers good luck. Sometimes they seem to work. But the sluggers are cursed when a poisoned pretzel kills a bubblegum tycoon. Paul Haven is a great writer.

Teacher's Grade: A-
I'm always on the lookout for a good story to read aloud to my 2nd graders, and this one fit the bill. Haven's engaging and quirky characters, combined with the baseball setting, and mysterious goings on made for a lively read that generated a lot of enthusiasm. Parts of this book reminded me of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, while other parts reminded me of Shoeless Joe.
A good story to read aloud, and a perfect one for sports-minded 4-7th graders to relish.

Rookie of the Year
Witty and creative, it breaks away from standard kids' fare. For baseball lovers especially, this would make a great gift.
