Sidelined by an injury, sixth grade baseball star Freddy Peeves begrudgingly joins the student newspaper … and while doing his reporting, stumbles upon a secret plot to shut down his school! Can the fledgling investigative journalist and his friends get the scoop in time to save Sybil Ludington Junior High — and maybe learn about how there might be more to life than winning ball games? This full-length middle grade novel by Pete Chianca, with illustrations by Dave London, is the first to feature characters from their long-running comic strip, "Pet Peeves." The text includes words to know for each chapter, and book club/classroom discussion questions.
