Robokid

Summary Despite none of them knowing anything about the game, Nick has formed a cricket team - the Gibsons Giants - with the sole purpose of playing against the Sechelt Senators, captained by officious Brit, Ashley Putney III, who, along with his team takes the game very seriously. The one person on Nick's team who seems to have a natural talent as a batsman is Sam. Their first practice coincides with the return into town of Dana, who has brought along Sam's cousin, Billy, for a week long visit. Dana did not tell Sam this news beforehand as she knows that Sam does not like Billy. To put it more precisely, Sam is ashamed of Billy, who has Down Syndrome. What further irks Sam is that he believes his mother always sides with Billy against him. Sam does whatever he can not to associate with Billy during his stay. But one mean and self serving move too many by Sam makes Billy run away, despite Billy really wanting to be Sam's friend. Billy's disappearance coincides with the cricket match, which makes Sam have to make some decisions about what is important in his life.
