| Publisher Description: "Ready, Wrestle" is the story of a high school freshman's enthusiasm for sports and his desire to participate on a school team. Football and basketball coaches turn John down during tryouts because of his size. He becomes a team manager for football because it allows him to stay close to the sport. The basketball coach wants him to do the same thing for his team. Bill, John's best friend and next-door neighbor, encourages him to talk to the head wrestling coach, Mr. Smith. The coach talks to John and weighs him. John finally hears what he has been waiting to hear- I want you to start practicing immediately. After his parents sign his permission slip, John is on his way to becoming an athlete and part of a team. He proves quickly that he is a very good athlete and impresses his coaches and teammates with his athletic abilities during action-packed matches. "Ready, Wrestle" will appeal to young readers interested in high school sports, good sportsmanship, friendship, and excellent family values. |
