What's more important than baseball? Twelve-year-old House Jackson is having a bad time. Mr. Norwood Rhinehart Beauregard Boyd has left him a legacy of mystery as well as one wheezy old dog named Eudora Welty. And he's being tortured by full-of-herself Finesse Shotz, who thinks her pageant for the 200th anniversary of Aurora County is MUCH more important than House and his best friend Cleebo's dumb baseball game, even if it is the biggest game of the year. Through the long hot month of June, House learns some important lessons about family, friendship, poetry...and baseball. Deborah Wiles once again delivers a poignant story and memorable charaters in a heartwarmng novel that's ripe with delightful and funny Southern details.
