Swing to the music with this jazzy issue of Cricket! Be amazed by Peg Leg Bates--who became an international tap dancing star even though he had lost his leg when he was twelve years old. Fall under the "spell" of "Judgment Day," a story about one girl's quest to win the school spelling bee. Can you spell (or even pronounce) "sesquipedalian"? Did you know that, before the invention of punctuation, sentences had no periods, and people wrote from left to right on one line, then from right to left on the next? Ssem a tahw! And when basketball was first invented, there was no dribbling,  no hole in the bottom of the basket, and the score in the first game was 1-0? If you're into sports, you might hang a poster of Walker Weston in your room--the hero of professional walking. All this, a new poetry contest, and the next part of the time-travel story, "The Traveler," in this month's Cricket.
