Good Reads synopsis:
Marisol Rainey’s two least-favorite things are radishes and gym class. She avoids radishes with very little trouble, but gym is another story–especially when Coach Decker announces that they will be learning to play kickball.
There are so many things that can go wrong in kickball. What if Marisol tries to kick the ball . . . but falls down? What if she tries to catch the ball and gets smacked in the nose? What if she’s the worst kickballer in the history of kickball? Marisol and her best friend Jada decide to get help from the most unlikely–and most annoying–athlete in the world: Marisol’s big brother, Oz.
Book Review:
Cute middle grade book that I gave 4 stars. This is the second book in the series. In this one she has to deal with playing kickball in gym class. Marisol is not into sports and doesn’t do well. There is a girl who brags about how well she can play, and she ends up teasing Marisol. Marisol must learn how to not only deal with this sport but also the girl. She does get help from her best friend and her brother.
This is a great book to help younger children figure out how to deal with some issues.
