Meet Little Davey Warner. He lives in Sandhill Flats with his mum and dad and his brother Steve and his stinky dog Max. Davey and his schoolmates even Max are MAD for cricket. All they want to do is play but theres always something getting in their way. In this second book in the series, Davey wishes he could be as good a cricketer as his older brother Steve, whos always telling him to practise more. And theres nothing else that Davey and his mates like to do more the classroom is as good as the playground, right? Mr Mudge, the Year 6 teacher and absolute grump, doesnt think so, especially after being donked on the head by the ball, and confiscates Daveys precious bat, Kaboom. Whats Davey going to do without his precious bat? Its like a part of his body. And of course a selector has turned up at club training, and Daveys HOPELESS without his bat. Hes really happy for his mate, Sunil, though, who the selector taps on the shoulder. Daveys feeling pretty down that is, until Steve asks him to play up and fill in on his team for a big match. Daveys ecstatic, but then realises that without Kaboom, hell let his brother down. Hes GOT to get Kaboom back but how? And why does Mo Clouter think he can find it? In the meantime, Davey will keep practising, but will he be good enough to be play with his brother?
