What this story is about
(Fourth book in the Johnny Whistler series)
Johnny Whistler’s town of
Bayside has been challenged to a cricket match by its bigger rival,
Ridgewood. Bayside doesn’t even have a cricket team, but this is a
sporting emergency, and everyone’s dragged in to help fight off the
under-handed challenge.
Johnny’s keen to play, as are
his three giant, rubbery spiders, Sunshine, Rainbow, and Sky. But his
sister, Debbie, and best friend, Bouncer, have a few problems. So does
Johnny’s mother, Kate. And a visiting American cowboy has his own ideas
about how cricket should be played.
Johnny and the ill-prepared
Bayside team will need all the help they can get because Johnny’s old
enemy, Herbert Hatfield, is determined Ridgewood will win. He’s also one
of the umpires, and an expert at cheating.
In a thrilling, see-sawing,
action-packed cricket match, it all comes down to the last ball.
