About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about trying a new activity or struggling with the pressure of high expectations from family members. While the plot follows a high-stakes diamond heist at a golf tournament, the heart of the story lies in Geronimo's reluctant participation in a sport he feels unqualified for. It is a fantastic tool for normalizing the 'clumsy' phase of learning and showing that you do not have to be a natural athlete to be a hero. Appropriate for ages 7 to 10, this chapter book uses vibrant typography and humor to lower the barrier for reluctant readers. Parents will appreciate how Geronimo balances his duty to his demanding grandfather with his own sense of justice. It is a lighthearted way to discuss teamwork and finding your own unique strengths when you feel like a fish out of water.
