Kate is determined to be in the Guinness Book of World Records. She gives her mom a birthday gift of baseball lessons. Mom has never played before, but her hit scores high above the trees, smashing a record ...and a church window. But Kate has coached an instant winner!

Now, on to winning the prize in the town's annual pet contest. Kate has no pet but hopes to get one. What she gets is a rabbit as a consolation prize for being guillotined! A local magician does a beheading trick in the library magic show--with Kate's head on the chopping block. All for Guinness: Kate will be the only kid ever beheaded in a public library.

How Kate survives the guillotine, what happens with the magic rabbit Escapo, and much, much more, all combine to make The Highest Hit a record hit in hilarious fun.
