Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a hyper-competitive streak or is so focused on their own goals that they are accidentally stepping on their friends' toes. It is an ideal choice for navigating the tricky social waters of elementary school where personal ambition can sometimes clash with loyalty. In this humorous school story, George is determined to win a trip to space camp by beating his rival in a physical fitness challenge. However, his obsession with winning blinds him to the fact that his best friend, Alex, wants the prize just as much for different reasons. This book explores themes of empathy, accountability, and the realization that being a winner is not as important as being a good friend. It is perfectly pitched for kids aged 7 to 10 who enjoy funny, relatable stories about school life and big dreams.
