"The pushcarts have declared war! New York City's streets are clogged with huge, rude trucks that park where they want, hold up traffic and bulldoze into anything that is in their way, and the pushcart peddlers are determiend to get rid of them. But trucks are just as determined to get rid of the pushcarts, and chaos results in the city. The pushcarts have come up with a brilliant strategy that will sure let the hot air out of their enemies. The secret weapon--a peashooter armed with a pin; the target--the vulnerable truck tires. Once the source of the flat tires is descovered, the children of hte city joyfully join in with their own pin peashooters. The pushcarts have wone one battle, but can they win the war against a corrupt mayor who taxes the pins and prohibits the sale of dried peas?" From the publisher
