(4) 4-6 Calico: Game Face series. Illustrated by Tim Heitz. Four seventh graders face athletic challenges: Griffin reluctantly steps in as soccer goalie (Between); Javon feels the heat as a relief pitcher (Relief); Torry becomes the go-to player on the basketball court (Pressure); and Marcus questions his value in the 4x400-meter relay (Baton). Each first-person narrative pulls readers through the anxieties and thrills of the game. Silly cartoons feel mismatched with the straightforward stories. Review covers the following Calico: Game Face titles: Between the Sticks, Chasing the Baton, No Relief, and Pressure Point.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
