From Andrea Williams, the bestselling author of We Are Family with LeBron James, comes Inside the Park, the story of a young baseball fanā€™s misadventures after getting locked inside a pro baseball stadium on the eve of the biggest game of the season.

In this all-new, hilarious, action-packed middle grade tale, Timothy ā€œPumpsieā€ Strickland, a baseball-loving twelve-year-old, is about to step up to the plate for the biggest swing of his life.

Pumpsie needs a win. Or to be more precise, he needs the Nashville Wildcats to win. Pumpsieā€™s been waiting his entire lifeā€”twelve whole years!ā€”for his favorite team to make it to the playoffs. And this yearā€”finally!ā€”theyā€™re just one win away.

But when Pumpsie accidentally gets trapped in Lookout Field the night before the last game of the season, with only a lost dog named Campy for company, he may have accidentally stumbled into the best night of his life. For a baseball fan like Pumpsie, using the pro batting cages, running the bases, playing with the public address system, eating all the concession-stand junk food he can find is a dream come true . . . until he realizes heā€™s not alone in the stadium. Foul plots are brewing beneath Lookout Field, and now itā€™s on Pumpsie to swallow his fears, gum up his courage, and swing for the fences if he wants to save the Wildcatsā€™ postseason chances.

Inside the Park is a fun-filled, action-packed slice of wish fulfillment thatā€™s perfect for fans of Mike Lupica and Tim Green or any kidā€™s ever closed their eyes and imagined stepping up to the plate with the game tied and the season on the line.

One kid. One dog. One very empty stadiumā€”or so he thinks.
