It's basketball season in the fourth book of this highly illustrated
middle grade series from the nationally syndicated cartoonist of "In
the Bleachers," starring a kid who plays the same position in every
sport: benchwarmer.
Steve is King of the Bench. No brag. It's just a fact. And this season,
Steve and his athletically challenged best friends Joey and
Carlos--along with super athlete Becky O'Callahan--are joining the
Mighty Plumbers basketball team. But instead of playing on the court,
Steve is waiting on the sidelines to perform his top-secret ritual that
turns the tide of every game in an instant.
Why is it a secret? Well, big, drooly duh, everyone knows it's a strict
rule when selling a book not to blurt out the whole juicy plot!
Perfect for fans of Timmy Failure and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, King of
the Bench is an ode to teammates, underdogs, and benchwarmers
everywhere.
