Guys Read: The Sports Pages

(4) 4-6 This collection of sports-centric short stories by Dan Gutman, Tim Green, Chris Crutcher, and other popular authors spans a variety of sports and addresses such athletics-related struggles as overcoming pressure, high expectations, teamwork, and gaining confidence; there are two brief autobiographical pieces by real athletes. Some stories are less exciting than expected, but most will engage the target boy audience.
