What's Skinnybones About

Publisher Summary

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the first publication of Skinnybones, bestselling author Barbara Park has updated the text of this award-winning novel and made it even more hilarious. A whole new generation of kids will meet Alex “Skinnybones” Frankovich, the smallest player on his baseball team, who is famous for his big mouth. Alex knows he’s gone too far when he brags his way into a battle of skills with T.J. Stoner, a cocky Little League legend with a perfect hitting record. Can blabbermouth Alex talk his way out of “this” mess?
