Champ

(Scholastic)
*** SOLD OVER 340,00 COPIES IN 
FIRST 6 MONTHS OF RELEASE!

-- A middle-grade novel.

Riley and his dog, Champ, set out to prove to
his father and the whole town there's more
than one way to be a winner!

    Riley is awful at sports - especially baseball - and he's ready to quit the team.  But his dad's motto is "nobody likes a quitter," and he won't let Riley give up.  So when one bad swing brings a three-legged dog into his life, Riley feels like he's been thrown a curveball.  How can he take of a dog and make his dad proud?
    Champ is a former champion show dog.  But when the accident that leaves him with Riley also leaves him with three legs, this dog has to learn some new tricks.  Can Champ show Riley that winning doesn't always mean coming in first?
    Together, Riley and Champ make a great team.  But they stand to lose more at the Founders Day Dog Show than a blue ribbon.  Could they be separated forever?
    Riley only knows one thing for sure -- this time quitting is NOT an option.
