Tryouts for Ben

The parents of Benjamin Wade Marshall are worried he spends too much time alone and way too much time playing video games. His dad wants him to try out for a sport and sends Ben to tryout after tryout.

Ben is convinced he is terrible at all sports and would rather cheer on his big brother, a star athlete than tryout for a team. However, with his parent's encouragement, Ben discovers all it takes is a little perseverance and hard work and anything is possible. He survives the summer tryouts and makes new friends too.

A story parents and grandparents to read aloud at bedtime to their kids and grandkids. Also good for young readers, between the ages of 5-9 years old who are bridging the gap from early readers to chapter books.
