THE HAWK SQUAD

 

During the summer of 1977 while playing a friendly game of baseball, Dustin Baker gets himself into quite a pickle—a quandary involving his misfit friends, a brilliant hawk, and a distress note written by a girl they have never met. Throw some bad guys and bullies into the mix, and that’s one big fat pickle! 

 

The Willabee kidnapping is the biggest crime Dustin’s town has ever experienced, and he stands in the heart of the beast. Unknowingly, Dustin and the Hawk Squad are about to play the greatest game of baseball ever played, both on and off the field. 

The Hawk Squad is a fast paced story about a coming of age adolescent geek who finds the inner strength to triumph over one of life’s biggest challenges: being bullied. Unified with his group of misfit friends, Dustin Baker realizes he is not alone in his struggle against criminals at large. Despite taking his share of punches, jeers, and humility, a hero emerges to confront the biggest battle of his life.
