(4) 4-6 With Paul Mantell. After collaborating on three semi-autobiographical picture books, the Barbers try their hands at a novel, in which young Tiki and Ronde are nervous about starting junior high. Football tryouts and competition are central to the story; a subplot involving community action widens its appeal. There's some awkward dialogue, but the twins offer strong modeling of sportsmanship and perseverance. Glos.
