Official synopsis Publisher
Lenny, Mike, and Other Mike are back in school for the glory that is seventh grade, and this year, Mike is determined to make catcher on the middle-school team. When Mike’s hard work pays off and he wins the coveted postition, Lenny is a little jealous, but he’ll settle for being the team’s unofficial announcer.
The team has a brilliant new pitcher, Hunter Ashwell, and though he’s a bit of a jerk, he and Mike have a great pitcher/catcher dynamic that could make the team champions. But things take a strange turn when Hunter’s perfect pitching streak goes downhill, and Lenny suspects foul play–specifically, someone stealing Mike’s catcher signals. But who could be responsible, and why?
