From the nationally syndicated cartoonist of "In the Bleachers" comes a new, highly illustrated middle grade series about Steve, who plays the same position in every sport: bench-warmer. Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Timmy Failure, King of the Bench is an ode to teammates, underdogs, and bench-warmers everywhere. Steve is King of the Bench. No brag. It's just a fact. But this year, Steve and his friends are excited to try out for the Spiro T. Agnew Middle School baseball team. The only problem is, after watching another player get beaned by a fastball, Steve has developed a serious case of bean-o-phobia--the fear of getting hit by a pitch. If Steve ever wants to get off the bench and get in the game, he's going to have to muster up some courage, and fast. Oh, and if you're wondering why Steve would write a book and tell total strangers all about the humiliating phobia that almost ruined his first year on the baseball team? Duh. It's pretty much a rule that you spill your guts when you write a book about yourself. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

King of the Bench is hilarious. Steve has no athletic ability, but he wants to make his dad happy, so he tries out for his school's baseball team. The Spiro T. Agnew Middle School Plumbers. Humor books are famous for tangents and Steve frequently goes off on tangents to explain things like the fact that his school is named after a vice-president who was forced to resign or that his coach is always digging wax out of his ear, thus the nickname Coach Earwax.
Steve's problem begins when a kid gets beaned on the nose at tryouts and blood gushes everywhere. Steve makes the team, but now he's afraid of getting beaned at bat, so the coach benches him. Steve is ok with this. His dad is proud, and he doesn't have to worry about making a fool of himself. Of course, sports books always have their redemption moment, and Steve will get his chance to redeem himself whether he wants to or not.
This book will be a hit with kids who like Big Nate type books and play sports. There are more books coming out in this series and I plan to buy them all. (
