It’s the girls against the boys when the fight for a baseball diamond erupts into an all-out war
Fifth graders Eddy Wong, Carlos Garcia, and Bucky “Buckaroo” Brockhurst all live in the Castle Court apartment complex. They’re part of a special club called the PROs. They plan to build a baseball diamond on the site of the deserted Dragoman property and are already picking out balls, mitts, and bats.
Kate Nicely and Aurora and Athena Pappas also live at Castle Court. They believe the vacant lot is a magical grove and a perfect haven for unicorns. No way are they letting those insensitive boys cut down their precious trees. The girls hold a council meeting in the Pappas gazebo to plot their next move. Families take sides. And the full-scale battle to claim the land begins.

Castle Court Kids

The Diamond War

The Castle Court Kids are back—and this time, they’re teaming up to fight the bad guys
Kate Nicely and her BFF, Aurora Pappas, haven’t told anyone about their top-secret science project that’s going to win first place at the Annual Interschool Science Fair. Carlos Garcia, Bucky Brockhurst, and Eddy Wong are working on one, too, if they could just agree on an idea that isn’t lame. But everyone could lose to Aurora’s kid brother, Carson, and Eddy’s younger brother, Web, who everyone at school knows is a genius. Does Web’s secret project have something to do with the two sinister-looking men in a black van who’ve been lurking around Castle Court? The rumors spread like wildfire: Web is developing some kind of secret weapon and terrorists are trying to steal it. That’s when the Castle Court Kids decide to form the top-secret AT Club (that’s Anti-Terrorist, of course). With the kids—and one enormous Saint Bernard—outnumbering the bad guys, all they have to do is wait for the perfect time to strike.

Secret Weapons

Who stole the buried treasure?
Carlos Garcia, Eddy Wong, and Bucky Brockhurst are building a brand-new private clubhouse when they stumble upon buried treasure. No sooner have they hauled the old metal box out of the ground than Bucky’s irritating kid sister, Muffy, shows up and tells him he has to come home.
Left alone with the box, Carlos and Eddy manage to pry it open. It’s filled with hundreds of gold coins! Knowing Bucky will be furious that they opened it without him, the boys dump it back into the ground. But when the fifth graders return later that night to dig it up again, all they find is an old bone.
What happened to the treasure? And who buried the bone? Was it Lump, the Garcias’ enormous Saint Bernard? Susie Garcia, Athena Pappas, and Muffy Brockhurst (the meanest girl in school) also want to know. As the search for the box heats up, turning everyone against one another, will the three PROs lose the treasure—and their friendship?
