520 In this companion novel to Midsummer's Mayhem, math and
baseball combine with savory snacks to cause confusion and
calamity in the town of Comity. Twelve-year-old Trish can
solve tough math problems and throw a mean fastball. But
because of her mom's new job, she's now facing a summer
trying to make friends all over again in a new town. That
isn't an easy thing to do, and her mom is too busy to
notice how miserable she is. But at her first baseball
practice, Trish realizes one of her teammates is Ben, the
sixth-grade math prodigy she beat in the spring Math
Puzzler Championships. Everyone around them seems to think
that with their math talent and love of baseball, it's
only logical that Trish and Ben become friends, but Ben
makes it clear he still hasn't gotten over that loss and
can't stand her. To make matters worse, their team can't
win a single game. But then they meet Rob, an older kid
who smacks home runs without breaking a sweat. Rob tells
them about his family's store, which sells unusual snacks
that will make them better ballplayers. Trish is dubious,
but she's willing to try almost anything to help the team.
When a mysterious booklet of math puzzles claiming to
reveal the "ultimate answer" arrives in her mailbox, Trish
and Ben start to get closer and solve the puzzles
together. Ben starts getting hits, and their team becomes
unstoppable. Trish is happy to keep riding the wave of
good luck … until they get to a puzzle they can't solve,
with tragic consequences. Can they find the answer to this
ultimate puzzle, or will they strike out when it counts
the most? "Baseball provides energetic context to this
story in alternating voices of friends in a lovingly drawn
and diverse community. Add magic, numbers, Shakespeare,
and lashings of mystery, all seasoned with artful
sprinkles of culinary flavor and equal parts humor and
heart. Cleverly adjacent to the world of Midsummer's
Mayhem, yet standing wonderfully well alone." "It's no
mystery why Rajani LaRocca's Much Ado About Baseball is a
home run. Like the smell of freshly cut infield grass,
this fast-paced story of friendship, fitting in, and
finding yourself is filled with magic and math. It pops
with baseball excitement and summer days full of
possibilities." "A moving tale of baseball, magic, and
former rivals who come together to solve a problem."
