A Bandicoot Holiday

Dalton Rivers has owned the Bandicoots minor league team of Pickerville for the last several seasons. Mr. Rivers has decided that it was time for his oldest son, Wayne, to become the team's manager like he has always hoped for. Dalton Rivers also hopes for his son Quail to join the team as well, not for management or a position on the team's board but as a player. Quail played baseball growing up, but never wanted to play professionally. Instead, he dreamed of playing for the Bandicoots. This Christmas in Pickerville, the Rivers brothers are preparing for a season with the Bandicoots baseball team. Their father's farm also requires repairs, and Quail takes on the job of insulating the barn, promising to finish in two weeks. Rivers of Pickerville provides a story full of holiday spirit. Meet the small-town family as they work on their farm, milking cows and maintaining the barn. Sherman E. Hister delightfully depicts the snow-covers countryside and the people who inhabit it. Will Quail finish the barn in the promised time? Can the Rivers brothers bring the Bandicoots to a winning season? Join the warm-hearted Rivers family, who love each other as much as they love the town they come from, as they strengthen their baseball team and stride to succeed.
