It's all action all the time in these sports stories set at a New Jersey middle school. Covering football, basketball, track, and soccer, the books impart sports, sportsmanship, and self-esteem in equal doses. There's no real character development here, but the easy reading, fast pace, and the lure of series fiction may hook sports fans.
