Two best friends, one baseball team, and a giant, looming, SMELLY turd tank. What could possibly go wrong? This laugh-out-loud series, told in dual point-of-view, is about friendship, teamwork, and the occasional fart joke. Perfect for fans of The Last Kids on Earth, Big Nate, and The Secret Zoo.
Eleven-year-old Tommy has dreamed of being on the Bulldogs sports team forever. The Bulldogs eat, breathe, and fart sports. They're part of the elusive Super Sports Society in his hometown, and Tommy knows that if he makes the team, he'll be set up for life.
Meanwhile, Pel would rather be at home gaming in the air conditioning, but his mom decided that he has to "be a role model" to his little siblings (ugh!), and now he's trying out for the Bulldogs too. At least that means the two BFFs won't be in competition for the spot . . . right? (Wrong.)
In volume two, Tommy and Pel both navigate the first travel tournament of the season. Pel's using his dad's old baseball glove, which is a punch-in-the-gut reminder that he's no longer here. Or, as Ma says, is he?
Join Tommy, Pel, Diesel, Clutch, Alfredo, Goetz, and the members of the Bulldogs (wait . . . no, the TurdlesI) in their first-ever travel baseball tournament. Of course, there's tons of LOL-worthy moments, like a laser tag game gone wrong, an incident involving bunch of chili flakes on pepperoni pizza (don't try that one at home), and a rival team that's gotta go down.

This series is humor at its finest, interwoven with lessons about life, friendship, coming-of-age, battling anxiety both on and off the field, and grief.
