After Spencer’s pleading, she softens up an bit and tells him he would be able to keep Foxy until he finds a new home for him. After three days, Foxy goes to the pound.

Spencer does not want to give Foxy up, so he decides to run away. He thinks he should go to his dad, who works, Spencer believes, at Candlestick Park, for the San Fransisco Giants, his favorite baseball team. Will Spencer get there, all by himself with Foxy, on a bicycle? What will happen if he does?


Follow Spencer as he tries to reach Candlestick Park in this enthralling and funny novel by Peg Keheret. I would recommend this book for ages 9+.
