Miami is more than ready for two weeks of baseball camp. No homework. No annoying sister. Best of all, no Destinee Tate. But Miami can't escape Destinee. Turns out his best friend, String, invited her to Camp Atwater, too. And she's making trouble, as usual, trying to get girls on the boys' all-star team\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Miami series grew out of a real need that Pat McKissack saw in children's books: There weren't many books about middle-class African American kids. \"We are professional people,\" Pat said about herself and her husband, Fred, in \"The Dallas Morning News. \"Our kids never knew a hungry day. They lived a normal, middle-class life on a street that was very diverse. It's not that the other kind of stories aren't important. But I got tired of African American children showing up in literature a day late and a dollar short.\"\u003cbr\u003eThese three books show Miami Jackson's third-going-on-fourth-grade life--getting through the last few days of school before summer vacation, finding his place in summer baseball camp, and dealing with a no-nonsense new teacher--with humor and irrepressible attitude.\u003cbr\u003ePatricia McKissack and Fredrick McKissack have written tons of wonderful books for children, such as several Coretta Scott King Award-winning books, including \"Black Hands, White Sails; and \"Sojourner Truth: Ain't I a Woman?
