Publisher Description:
Jake Thorson, the Vikings team captain, gets all the credit. He leads the team in home runs, and everybody loves him for it -- that is, everyone but his brother, Luke. Luke isn't popular, and he hasn't hit a single home run -- but he does have the team's best batting average as well as the most stolen bases. However, those types of things don't really get you the attention that a homer does, and Luke's tired of standing in the Jake's shadow.
