(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Amy Wummer. In this book about the Table Two second graders, narrator Richard and bully Patrick are both in the Sumac School Chess Club (motto: "Chess! I love it I love it I love it!" accompanied by pumping fists, shown in the black-and-white ink and watercolor illustrations). The boys' personal rivalry threatens their tournament preparations, though Gilson's message about teamwork doesn't overpower the story.
