| Publisher Description: Jim Nasium desperately wants to live up to his name, but this ten-year-old lacks some serious game. For him, physical education is a lesson in survival. No matter the competition, Jim's often the last player to be picked. But he's not giving up so easily Jim's determined to try his hardest every day in gym class, until he finds something that fits him like a well-oiled glove. After all, everyone is good at something, right? Will he find a sport to suit his skills and become the next gym class hero? Or will this athletic supporter get tossed to the sidelines? Funny stories that any sports-star-wannabe can relate to, these chapter books will delight young readers. Additional sports fun facts, glossary, and author/illustrator bios complement each book. |
