Customer Reviews

A nice lesson in fairness

Francine learns that it isn't always sheer physical skill that makes a good team - strategy is important. The gang also takes some time to think about how it feels to be the last one picked for a team - you know that feeling. Never sappy but engaging, a good story in a great series. Stephen Krensky has done a good job with these books. Why is it that Marc Brown's name is on the cover?
