New ed. (1983, Little)
(4) 4-6 New Matt Christopher Sports Library series. Bullying, self-doubt, and family problems are common themes in these popular, formulaic sports-centered titles. Characters include foster kid Peter, a dirt biker; basketball player Mel, a victim of racial prejudice; and football-playing twins Michael and Tom, who may be telepathic. The heroes, not always winners on the field, inevitably conquer their inner foes. These editions are sturdily bound and feature large type. Review covers these New Matt Christopher Sports Library titles: The Basket Counts, The Comeback Challenge, Dirt Bike Runaway, The Great Quarterback Switch, The Hockey Machine, and Return of the Home Run Kid.
