Tournament of Champions Bildner's diverse cast of characters is what energizes this tremendously engaging story . . . Another solid volume in a fun and lively series. --Kirkus Reviews Rookie of the Year This fast, fun read featuring characters who love books as much as basketball will appeal to sports fans and nonathletes alike. --School Library Journal A diverse cast of characters highlights this good-natured, high-spirited slice of life. --Kirkus Reviews A Whole New Ballgame The book depicts the evolution of a group of fifth graders who learn a lot, grow a lot, and help one another . . . The charming and diverse characters [are] pure fun with a lot of heart. --School Library Journal If the students are inspiring, so is [their teacher] Mr. Acevedo, who risks his job to do such radical things as reading aloud and encouraging free reading. (He's supposed to be preparing the kids to take tests!) Probert's cartoonish illustrations lend energy and personality to the likable cast of characters. --Kirkus Reviews This warm slice-of-life novel from Bildner engages and entertains . . . Probert's energetic illustrations match the positive exuberance of the story. --Publishers Weekly With its energetic and authentic story and artwork, this is a fresh, fun book about school, sports, and friendship. --Children's Book Council
