Toby Wheeler: Eighth-Grade Benchwarmer
Thatcher Heldring (2007), 224 pages
Audience: 6th Grade - 8th Grade
Toby Wheeler is a gym rat, and he's happy with that. Why would he want to be tied to practices in organized basketball when he can be a free man playing basketball at the recreation center? Toby's best friend, JJ, plays for the team, and as far as Toby can see, it's a lot of work. When JJ seems to be slipping away from Toby to spend time with his new friends, and the new coach encourages Toby to come out for the team, he decides to give it a shot. Could it be worth it, though, if the only position he has on the team is as a benchwarmer?
