For the last 108 years, fans have watched the Sluggers lose in incredibly weird ways. But Danny Gurkin has faith. Every move he makes is designed to help his team win. Don't step on any cracks, always have two hot dogs with everything, make sure all the windows are closed, make Mom wash the dishes again, anything that will help the Sluggers win. When Danny finds some magic gum, he thinks the Sluggers' problems are over. But at least one person doesn't want the Sluggers to win, and he'll do anything he can to stop them. Librarian review written by Lisa Write a review of this book This is the best book I ever read. I wish there was a sequel! I loved Danny Gurkin and his adventures. The characters are so cool, from the enormous bubblegum tycoon to the evil Diamond Bob Honeysuckle III. I am a big baseball fan and I am very very superstitious. I have always wished I could do what Danny does (which, without giving away the book, is to use this secret gum to help his team win!) Anybody who loves baseball has to read this book, and even if you don't you will love all the crazy stories. Kid review written by Tom Read more Kids' Reviews of this book
