In Team Player, the third book in Dean Hughes's popular series, the season is moving along for the Scrappers. It looks like they have some talent after all, and that talent is finally gelling into some numbers in the "win" column.

But one thing is driving Trent Lubak crazy -- the way his old friend Robbie Marquez is changing. Where has that big mouth come from all of a sudden? Every time Robbie makes a great play at third, he's the first to tell the world: "Nothing gets by me, I'm Velcro Man." His nonstop bragging is particularly annoying after Trent not only misses the cutoff man in a play to home plate, but nearly throws the ball out of the stadium as well. How humiliating.

The growing tension between Trent and Robbie threatens to undermine the Scrappers' team spirit that has been so delicately woven so far. Is it possible that Trent is just a little jealous of Robbie's flashy plays? Might he have to come to grips with the fact that he isn't a standout star, but, as a solid, dependable player, just as important to the team?

Each book in Dean Hughes's Scrapper's series focuses on a different member of this unseasoned but determined baseball squad. In one summerlong season, each player learns something about him or herself and what it is that defines a team.
