The UnderWorld Series: Traveler's Tales

By Oscar Grimly

Is it worth trading your soul to be the best softball player in school?

It's an interesting offer but Krissy McCallister doesn't need to be the best, she already is the best. That is until her position on the team is threatened by new kid Aleyna Azzi who prefers to play for enjoyment rather than success. Krissy's rivalry with Aleyna gains the attention of Sivon Callous, the enigmatic operator of Mr. C's Menagerie, a new ice cream parlor that seemingly appeared overnight. Sivon Callous offers Krissy the ability to truly be the best softball player in exchange for her soul. When the deal backfires, Krissy and Aleyna must put aside their differences to face Mr. C in a series of softball games he dubs The UnderWorld Series.
