Thereā€™s no telling what a game of baseball might bring. Big hits, wild throws, and feisty managers ā€¦ or ball-launching cannons, horseback outfielders, and shovel-wielding base thieves! In Pirates at the Plate, an afternoon at the ballyard features all this and more. In a one-of-a-kind showdown between cowboys and pirates, bullpens are actually bull pens, bench-clearing brawls are a matter of course, and stars such as a slugging Blackbeard and hard-throwing Wild Bill Hickok inject rowdy adventure into the great summer pastime.

Aaron Frisch was an editor and author of many books for children and young adults. His picture booksā€”published by Creative Editionsā€”have received several honors, including an IPPY Award Gold Medal, a Spur Award, and a finalist nomination for the Minnesota Book Awards.

Mark Summers has created artwork for numerous magazines, Barnes & Noble bookstores, and many U.S. postage stamps. In 2000, he received the Society of Illustratorsā€™ coveted Hamilton King Award for best illustration of the 
year.

"It's a rip-roaring story, and even the twist ending doesn't diminish its sense of playfulness and fun."ā€”Publishers Weekly
