About the Book
"Ten-year-old Ben Cutler loves soccer, and he like to have fun while playing too, but when he joins a travel team that takes winning very seriously, he starts to wonder if there is more to the game than just getting a W."--Book Synopsis
Put on your cleats, grab your jersey, and join the Good Sports League! This funny chapter book series about sports and sportsmanship is from acclaimed author Tommy Greenwald. Ben Cutler loves everything about soccer! He's got a great team, and they have the best pregame chants and half-time jokes. He and his best friend, Jay-Jay, even invent dances for when they score a goal! And Ben is good at soccer. Like REALLY good. Too good for a casual rec team. Soon he's recruited for a travel team. His new team plays amazingly well, but they take soccer super seriously. No pregame chants, no juice-box breaks, and the most important rule of all: NO DANCING. Even though his new team is winning all the time, Ben is left to wonder, Is winning all that matters in the end? Comic panels and spot illustrations bring the sports action to life in a format perfect for reluctant readers.Review Quotes
Freddy states the moral up front--sports should be enjoyable--and this fast-paced, heartfelt story bears out the message. Good-hearted sporty fun.
--Kirkus
