Highly recommended!

Review by Mila

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to get a good laugh. Yehudi tries to do sports, but keeps getting injured. Chunky is his imaginary friend and fan. When Yehudi tries to fit in with new friends, he hurts Chunky's feelings. I learned that we should do the things we are good at that make us feel good, and not pretend to be someone we are not. That's how we keep our fans rooting for us.

Review by Tennis12

This is the first book in the Chunky series. It shows how a middle grade boy faces adversaries while trying to find the sport for him.

Have you heard the one about...

Review by nonobaseball

This was a great book for anyone who never quite fit in. For those who didn't play sports and who found their talents were better suited for the stage. Don't let your looks stop you!
