Children's Literature

In this engaging chapter book, Arthur and his friends learn some valuable lessons. Thanks to an insightful and supportive coach, the gang learns how to work together as a team. They also learn that complaining will not make them a great team. Instead, the coach encourages Francine (the number one complainer), to turn her negative energy into a positive force by helping Arthur learn to be a better player. Although the "Eagles" lose their first game, the players are on their way to reaching their potential and becoming better sports in the process. Arthur's parents encourage him to push forward when he is feeling low. In the course of the book, his game improves and so does the reader's understanding of human nature.
