¿La sensibilidad se lleva bien con los luchadores?
¡Primera caída!
'Hey, deberías ver cómo quedó mi rival', dice el Conde de Terciopelo, quien se está tomando más en serio que nunca las luchas y se va de gira por todo el país. Los fans le aplauden a rabiar, pero él, que es un sentimental empedernido, extraña a su familia y a sus amigos.
Además, Vladimir -su entrenador, que está en quinto de primaria- se enamora de una niña que llega a su edificio, y tendrá que probar suerte con los consejos del Terciopelo y su mamá para saber cómo tratar a las mujeres. Mientras tanto, Karla hace un megacoraje cuando se entera de quién le gusta a Vladimir y decide vengarse, ñaca ñaca.
In this companion novel to Midsummer's Mayhem, math and baseball combine with savory snacks to cause confusion and calamity in the town of Comity.
Twelve-year-old Trish can solve tough math problems and throw a mean fastball. But because of her mom's new job, she's now facing a summer trying to make friends all over again in a new town. That isn't an easy thing to do, and her mom is too busy to notice how miserable she is.
But at her first baseball practice, Trish realizes one of her teammates is Ben, the sixth-grade math prodigy she beat in the spring Math Puzzler Championships. Everyone around them seems to think that with their math talent and love of baseball, it's only logical that Trish and Ben become friends, but Ben makes it clear he still hasn't gotten over that loss and can't stand her. To make matters worse, their team can't win a single game. But then they meet Rob, an older kid who smacks home runs without breaking a sweat. Rob tells them about his family's store, which sells unusual snacks that will make them better ballplayers. Trish is dubious, but she's willing to try almost anything to help the team.
When a mysterious booklet of math puzzles claiming to reveal the "ultimate answer" arrives in her mailbox, Trish and Ben start to get closer and solve the puzzles together. Ben starts getting hits, and their team becomes unstoppable. Trish is happy to keep riding the wave of good luck ... until they get to a puzzle they can't solve, with tragic consequences. Can they find the answer to this ultimate puzzle, or will they strike out when it counts the most?
¿La sensibilidad se lleva bien con los luchadores?
¡Tercera caída!
El conde de terciopelo había llegado casi casi a la cima de su carrera tras ganar el campeonato de peso wélter, pero el canijo Golden Fire lo retó a un combate máscara contra máscara en el clásico plan de '¿Qué, eres gallina?'. El Conde cayó en la trampa y ¡aceptó el desafío!
No será fácil pues, en una jugada maestra, GOLDEN FIRE logró meterse prácticamente hasta la cocina de la casa del Conde, y ahora el Aterciopelado tendrá que enfrentar esos 'pequeños' asuntos de familia. Aparte, Vladimir sigue en la baba y no se atreve a invitarle un helado a su vecina Leonor. La temible Karla, fúrica por no tener la atención del niño que le gusta, está decidida a sacar a esa escuincla mensa de la jugada.
Nada como un poco de poesía y música (desafinada) para relajar el alma sensible y mantener la concentración en este alocado mundo del pancracio, digo, las luchas.
