(3) 4-6 Kickers series. Illustrated by Jimmy Holder. In Fake Out, Ben, stymied by a sneaky move from an opposing player, resolves to practice hard and perfect the play. Benched finds the young soccer star frustrated by his team's lack of skill. Chatty banter and soccer fundamentals, along with "Ben's Top Tips for Soccer Players," make these easy-to-read sports series entries believable and instructive. Lively gray-scale pictures illustrate events. Review covers these Kickers titles: Benched and Fake Out.
