It's basketball season in the fourth book of this highly illustrated middle grade series from the nationally syndicated cartoonist of In the Bleachers, starring a kid who plays the same position in every sport: benchwarmer.
Steve is King of the Bench. No brag. It's just a fact. And in this hilarious sports story, Steve and his athletically challenged best friends Joey and Carlos--along with super athlete Becky O'Callahan--are joining the Mighty Plumbers basketball team. But instead of playing on the court, Steve is waiting on the sidelines to perform his top-secret ritual that turns the tide of every game in an instant.
Why is it a secret? Well, big, drooly duh, everyone knows it's a strict rule when selling a book not to blurt out the whole juicy plot!
Perfect for reluctant readers and fans of Timmy Failure and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, King of the Bench: Comeback Kid is an ode to teammates, underdogs, and benchwarmers everywhere.
Can a benchwarmer's secret ritual really save the season?
- An Unlikely Hero: Steve is the self-proclaimed King of the Bench. He may never score a point, but his secret sideline ritual--the Rally Slide--could be the key to a championship season.
- Laugh-Out-Loud Middle School Humor: Join the Mighty Plumbers as they navigate a gym full of vermin, a coach with a serious earwax problem, and the entitled Big Jock on Campus, Jimmy Jimerino.
- Heartwarming Friendship Story: It's Steve, his athletically challenged pals Joey and Carlos, and super-athlete Becky against the world in this funny ode to teammates and underdogs everywhere.
- Fast-Paced and Illustrated: With short, action-packed chapters and hilarious cartoons on every page, this sports story is a slam dunk for all young readers.
