Bobby the Brave (Sometimes) by Lisa Yee 154 pages

Bobby is a bit of a wimp. It doesn't help that his older sister, Annie is a football natural and the seeming favorite of his dad, a former major football celebrity. Bobby enjoys skateboarding, but he just seems too klutzy to catch or throw well. The new gym teacher, gets real excited when he finds out about Bobby's famous dad and assumes that Bobby will be as talented as his dad. Years ago aftera major injury, his Dad decided to stay home and cook inventive cuisine. He even attempts sewing and promises to create a dog costume for Bobby's role of dog in the school production of Annie. This is another good school story. Bobby also has several friends and caring parents. This could be a good class read-aloud.
