(4) 4-6 In Mountain Bike Mania, Will fights afterschool loneliness and TV addiction by joining his middle school mountain biking club. Spike It! concerns Jamie's resentment when her new stepsister joins her volleyball team. Kids will appreciate reading about two sports not generally explored in fiction. The prose has contemporary references and language; the tried-and-true Christopher style stressing sportsmanship and family values remains heavy-handed.
