The Snow Bowl — Stephen Mooser

Homer King is sure he can win the Snow Bowl for the All-Star Meatballs -- after all, he's been bowling since he was little. But when he finds out that the game they'll be playing is actually football and that their opponents are the biggest, meanest kids in school, he's not so sure anymore. Meatballs keep their word, though, so he checks out all the information he can find at the library and studies. Hard.

Meanwhile, Molly James says she can't make the game. She'll be dancing in the Nutcracker with her ballet class that morning. How can she run from ballet to football? How can anyone?
