About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling protective of their reputation or experiencing friction as a sibling enters their social space. It is a perfect fit for an elementary student who feels like their younger or less-skilled brother or sister is cramping their style. The story follows Garry, a talented lacrosse player, as he navigates the embarrassment of having his unathletic brother join the team while simultaneously dealing with a persistent bully during a week-long camp. Beyond the fast-paced sports action, the book explores themes of sibling loyalty and personal accountability. It is an excellent tool for modeling how to handle social pressure and when to stand up for family, even when it feels socially risky. Ideal for ages 8 to 12, it provides a realistic look at how one person's actions can spiral into a series of consequences.
