But Papa manager of the Dukes the worst team in the Negro National League needs a bat boy not a fiddler ” and traveling with the Dukes doesn’t leave Reginald much time for practicing.

Has Reginald’s violin changed the Dukes’ luck — and can his music pull off a miracle victory against the powerful Monarchs?
Gavin Curtis’s beautifully told story of family ties and team spirit and E. B. Lewis’s lush watercolor paintings capture a very special period in history.

My children and I love this book! My 8-year-old son is also a musician and sports fan, and he loves to read this book! After we checked it out from the library, he requested to have a hardback copy so he could read it anytime. It is a very touching and inspirational book. Highly recommended!” (publisher)
