Kyle's school decides to host an Olympic Fest in honor of the Summer Olympics, and he's assigned to compete in the track-and-field events. The only problem is, he's no good at them. Will practice make perfect, or will Kyle embarrass himself in front of everyone? Pumped-up, easy-to-read sports stories with an emphasis on speed, skill, and fair play. The boys and girls in these books face obstacles on the gridiron, the court, the ice, or the half-pipe, and meet mental and social challenges as well. Readers discover that an athlete's inner game, persistence, and courage are just as important as a steady hand or a chance for a goal.
