Daniel lives in a house full of women (three sisters, mom, grandma, and great grandma). One day after eating a bowl of Great Granny Nanny's goulash, Daniel's eyeballs start making growling sounds and he shrinks to the size of a toe. He then discovers he has a tiny twin brother named Pablo that Granny had been raising secretly. The two become great partners. Their first mission is to set free hissing cockroaches at the girls' formal 'pre-pre-pre-pre-prom' party. Can Daniel figure out exactly what causes him to shrink and is it a sneeze that makes him grow back to normal size?

Joe is fascinated with the legend of how Babe Ruth called his shot before hitting a home run in game three of the 1932 World Series. Could a player be confident enough to be able to predict not only his home run, but also where it would fly? No one knows what really happened that day. Joe wants to find out, but unlike millions of other baseball fans, who have to live with the uncertainty, Joe has the power to travel back through time to see the game. Can Joe solve the mystery, return home safely, and possibly improve his own game in the meantime? Reproductions of photographs from Babe Ruth's life add depth to the descriptions of events, and the book concludes with a note separating the historical fact from fiction.
