Little League days are over and Steve now has to try out for the team if he wants to keep playing baseball. Trouble is that Steve spent most of his Little League days sitting the bench which is not ideal when trying to make a team. Then there is an incident that leads to Steve's Bean-o-phobia (feared of getting hit by the ball). Can Steve make the team even just to be a bench warmer?
Filled with humor and drawings this is great for sports fans and bench sitters.
Good for kids who like the Diary of a Wimpy kid series ages 9 and up.

In the style of Wimpy Kid.
Steve is a nerdy, only child with lots of unusual pets including a boa constrictor. He decides to try out for the baseball team even though he is afraid of getting hit by the ball. He makes the team but sits on the bench game after game. However, in the last game of the season he gets his chance to make up for all the embarrassing moments that have come before.
Nothing particularly stands out, but a quick fun read and a good read alike for Wimpy Kid fans.
