(2) K-3 Owen Foote, of 'Owen Foote, Second Grade Strongman', is discovering that the town league play is different from the soccer he played last year in first grade, where "all the kids knew one another. Everybody got to play. The coaches were fathers in real life." The soccer scenes are crisply written and easy to follow, and Owen's ambivalence in having a best friend the other kids call "the Chesterfield Klutz" is real.
