Mudville

Mudville by Kurtis Scaletta Imagine you are a baseball fanatic. You live to play baseball, but in the town where you live, it is always raining. Magically, the rain ends one day and baseball is back with a vengeance. Two rival teams square off to continue a game which began 20 years ago.

- Roy is a twelve year old baseball fanatic. Although it has been raining for more than two decades in his home town Moundville he still plays at camps in the neighboring towns he used to play in the Sutton Little League. One day, when Roy gets home from an indoor baseball camp he finds a boy about his age sprawled out on the couch. Roy introduces himself and asks his dad (not his mom because she is a flight attendent and Roy has not seen her in a long long time.) why this new boy Sturgis, is there. It turns out that Sturgis needed a home because the Government said his Grandmother could not take care of Sturgis anymore. Shortly after the arrival of Sturgis, the rain stops! Roy is anxious to play baseball so he asks Sturgis if he wants play and when they got to the field Roy finds out Sturgis has a gift from the baseball gods. Sorry if I spoiled to much.
