These eight semi-autobiographical stories—from both boys’ and girls’ perspectives—tell tales of dodgeball, wrestling, track, softball, and even ballet. Some are funny, some are serious, and some put their own twist on the whole "sports" concept. Kids will relate to the struggling non-jocks as well as the athletes who take home the trophy.
