  • The Million Dollar Strike

    Dan Gutman

    Paperback (Hyperion Book CH, April 11, 2006)
    Ouchie and Squishy love bowling, even if it isn't the coolest sport. And their favorite place to bowl is Bowl-A-Rama. Squishy especially likes it because it's the perfect setting for a gory horror movie. Then again, he tends to imagine zombies and killer clowns around every corner. When the city council wants to condemn the decrepit bowling alley, Ouchie and Squishy are devastated. Then the boys meet Gazebo Zamboni, the rich, reclusive, totally nutty owner of Bowl-A-Rama. Despite Mr. Z's insistence that the world is ending soon-a ghost told him so-Ouchie and Squishy manage to convince Mr. Z to keep Bowl-A-Rama open. He allows the boys to restore the old alley, and even sponsors a million dollar strike contest to bring in customers. Just when things start looking up, the most nightmarish scenarios of Squishy's overactive imagination come to life. Someone-or something-wants Bowl-A-Rama's doors to close. Forever.

    Hardcover (Perfection Learning, May 1, 2007)
    Edward Bogard – Bogie for short – may be blind, but he can learn just about anything he sets his mind to – riding a bike, parasailing, or playing guitar. His dad encourages all of his interests, except one: golf. So when a few of Bogie’s classmates invite him to a driving range, no one is more surprised than Bogie when he turns out to have the swing of a natural player. But blind golfing is a team sport. Now what he needs is a coach. Enter Birdie, the kooky girl next door. Birdie seems to have no friends, creates elaborate worlds in miniature in her basement, and has managed to make it to age twelve without ever riding a bike. As these neighbors team up to conquer the greens of Hawaii, they learn about more than just golf. Then someone mysteriously enters Bogie in a golfing tournament—with a million dollar prize. Could Birdie be the unlikely key to Bogie’s million-dollar win?
