In the second book of this new, highly illustrated middle grade series
by the nationally syndicated cartoonist of "In the Bleachers," Steve
reprises his role as perpetual bench-warmer. Perfect for fans of Timmy
Failure and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, King of the Bench is an ode to
teammates, underdogs, and bench-warmers everywhere.
Steve is King of the Bench. No brag. That's just a fact. And this
season, Steve and his friends are ready to sit on the sidelines of the
Spiro T. Agnew Middle school football field. But then they stumble upon
an old-school video game controller, and they become convinced it can
control sports plays. With it, Steve might become King of Football too!
Oh, and if you're wondering why Steve would write a book and tell
complete strangers about a mysterious magic device that pretty much
controlled his first season on the football team, too bad! It's a strict
rule when writing a book that you have to build suspense first.
