This is a great read for any child who has an interest in law, circuses, or middle school. The character development was a strong point. No character stayed the same from beginning to end. Depth and change were everywhere. My favorite character was Sam, without a doubt. The legal talk was kept in an understandable language and nobility and perserverence were the benchmarks of the protaganist. That's always a winning formula. It was a real pleasure. (

Eleven-year-old Phillip's dream of running away from the circus comes true when his parents allow him to stay with relatives in Hardington, Pennsylvania, where dodgeball is practically a religion and life is anything but normal. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0525473467, Hardcover)

Phillip comes from a circus family, but all he really wants is to be a regular kid. After persuading his parents to let him move in with his aunt and uncle, he winds up in Hardingtown, where everyone is wild about dodgeball. When he gets slammed in the face with a speeding ball in gym class, he decides to take the dodgeball bully to court. But can a circus boy take on the Unofficial Dodgeball Capital of the World?
This uproariously funny middle-grade novel carries an inspiring message about sticking to your beliefs, however unpopular they may be.
