children's middlegrade fiction (great for 4th-7th grades, esp. boys, and esp. kids who like baseball and mobster/spy movies). part 3 of the series but stands alone--you don't need to have read the first 2 installments. I could've done without so many of Vince's "grandma says" jokes, and the use of bully behaviors (for the good of the school?) was a mite questionable, but overall I think this'd do well with the intended audience.
