In over their heads? THE YEAR IS 1899, and the Travelin' Nine are
barnstorming their way across the good ol' U.S. of A., trying to raise
money to pay off the Payne family's big-league debt. Griffith has a
run-in with the Chancellor and learns that the baseball isn't the only
item the infamous industrialist is after. Even more mysteriously, the
Chancellor claims to have something that the Paynes want. And Ruby.
Where in the world has she vanished to? Does her disappearance have
anything to do with the Chancellor's threats? Or is there some other
plan in play? And finally, Graham makes a heartfelt birthday wish and
somehow gets exactly what he asks for. But questions still remain: Was
it real? Can it possibly be true? Or is it all just a dream? If they
don't watch out, Griffith, Ruby, Graham, and the Travelin' Nine may find
themselves in deep water in the Land of 10,000 Lakes!
