Review
Poor Marcus! His self-help author Dad is determined for him to play sport. The only trouble is Marcus doesn’t like sport!
He likes maths, cooking, playing computer games, watching TV and playing with his baby sister Harriet. But not sport.
When his Dad decides that tennis is his new game to try, Marcus does his best. The coach is encouraging and his Dad thinks he is doing well. However, Marcus knows otherwise.
Can he find a way to make his Dad happy? Maybe Marcus will learn something about himself along the way...
The illustrated format of this book makes it perfect for reluctant readers.
