(3) 1-3 Gym Shorts series. Illustrated by Simon Gane. Henry and Rocky are tennis doubles partners. Trouble is, Henry's a tennis natural while Rocky, though he tries hard and practices a lot, isn't as strong a player. Henry tries for a winning-isn't-everything attitude, but during one match he snaps and hurts Rocky's feelings. Hicks continues to show sensitivity and insight in this sports-themed series for younger readers.
