The Summer and Shiner tale continues!

Spring is in the air, and all boys' thoughts turn to baseball in Belford, Kansas. The Mustangs haven't won a single game,and Mick and the Spiders are making Carley and Troop's lives miserable.

They can't hit, they can't catch, and they can't pitch. They need a coach badly. They never expected that mean, old Redburn, the meanest, most cantankerous man in Riley County would come to their rescue!

The Summer and Shiner tale continues... Travel back with Carley and his best friend, Troop, as they once again dive into adventure, mischief, and fun. Join them in their antics at school and as they save Big Louie, the giant catfish. There are Halloween hijinks, a daring rescue for Shiner, and more trouble than Carley bargained for this school year. You'll recognize some old familiar faces and be introduced to new ones-the terrifying schoolmarm, Miss Both, Carley's new rival, Moose Harrigan, and a girl Carley would rather not know, Toby Swanson. And Carley welcomes a brand new friend. Don't miss his excitement or the journey back to Turtle Creek and Carley's hometown.

Carley and Troop, blood brothers for life, spend a summer together like no other. Releasing a trapped raccoon, battling their club rivals, the Spiders, climbing Cave Springs Mountain at night, and skinny dipping in crazy old Luke Webster's pond are just a few of their adventures. Travel back with Carley and Troop to a simpler time...a time for growing up, adventure, and fun!
