Nutty Can't Miss (Nutty Nutsell #4)
by Dean HughesFrom the dust jacket: "Nutty Nutsell is back, this time with his local recreational basketball team--the Lab School Labradors--and the Labradors are in trouble. The team has only won one game in two years, and that game only because the other team forfeited. Worse than that, this year their coach is Nutty's father, who makes long-winded speeches about team spirit and pride, but knows nothing about basketball. The answer? William Bilks, boy genius, of course. Although William doesn't know a whole lot about basketball either, he is willing to research basketball strategy and help develop some plays. But beyond that he tries something different--working with Nutty on a deep concentration technique, much like imaging, in which Nutty imagines himself making a perfect shot and then, in reality, does it. It is not long before the team is at the top and Nutty is a fifth-grade basketball phenomenon. Everything he does is perfect. No one has ever seen anyone play the sport like him before. He is certain to get a college scholarship, to play in the NBA. His future is unlimited, that is until Nutty, who feels nothing while in his "trance," has second thoughts about whether all the success and fame are worth the price of being nothing but a machine." This is the fourth book in the Nutty Nutsell series,. You'll find NUTTY FOR PRESIDENT, NUTTY AND THE CASE OF THE MASTERMIND THIEF, and NUTTY AND THE CASE OF THE SKI-SLOPE SPY in the Bookshare Collection.

He brags that this year his project will be the best, but he has no idea what to do until Brilliant William devises an experiment to find out if light particles are intelligent. Now Nutty's head glows in the dark and the photons take Nutty to a zone where he loves everyone and everything and says so out loud. Nutty's mother is delighted, his sister wants to slug him, the teachers want to send him to the office and the girls are running away while the boys laugh. The photons make Nutty feel calm and at peace, though he feels for plants that need more water and he admires every little grain of sand. The real Nutty is embarrassed, but the photon zone is getting the upper hand. If William doesn't find a way to get the photons to leave Nutty, the real Nutty, the boy who is funny and annoying, kind of smart and kind of confused, may be lost forever. William wants his photon experiment to make him famous, but he wants his friend back, more. Read Nutty's other hilarious adventures in these books from the Bookshare collection.

And for once everything he planned seems to be working. He and Orlando and Bilbo and Richie and even William are all going--and are rooming together. It is when they reach their room that the problem begins. Hidden in a drain in the bathroom are some plans that look important and a note asking the finders not to turn the plans over to anyone, but to wait for him to reclaim them. He will use the code name Russian Roulette when he approaches them. Is the owner's life really in danger as the note says? Are the plans really that important? And if so, where can they be hidden? Who will come looking for them? What should the boys do? The answers to the first two questions come quickly. The plans are hidden in a safe place, thanks to William's genius. And it is soon apparent that a lot of people are looking for them. But where is Russian Roulette? And who is he? Before those questions are answered, the boys have encountered wild chases on the snow-covered hills, when not all of them are good skiers; a desperate escape from a locked hotel room; and threats of all kinds, enough to keep them alert and to wonder if their lives are as much in jeopardy as the life of Russian Roulette.
