Bookroo's summary
Kyle, once the heavyweight star of his wrestling team, faces a new challenge when newcomer Kenny takes his spot. Demoted to the B squad, Kyle struggles with frustration and self-doubt. As his team’s success hangs in the balance, Kyle must find a way to support his teammates while yearning to reclaim his position. Will he rise to the challenge and find a path to victory, or will his rivalry with Kenny overshadow his true potential? Discover the twists and turns as Kyle navigates competition, teamwork, and personal growth.
From the publisher
Kyle is the star of his junior high wrestling team’s A squad. Not only does he win most of his matches, but he’s also the heavyweight . . . the wrestler that gets to go last in a tournament and hopefully clinch the victory for the team. So when a new kid, Kenny, shows up and challenges Kyle for the heavyweight spot (and wins it), Kyle’s confidence shrinks. Now on the B squad, Kyle is frustrated. He wants his team to do well, and Kenny is a good wrestler. But Kyle also wants to be on the A squad. Can Kyle come up with a way to help his team?
