Book Description

March 1997 8 and up3 and upAccelerated Readers
The Tigers are in trouble. Baseball season is underway, and Coach Skelly has just quit. When Scott and his teammate can't find another adult to coach the team, they must find a leader among themselves. In doing so, Scott and the other players learn about leadership and discover unique and unrecognized talents among their own friends. Woven into the story are fascinating facts and statistics, as well as the real-life stories behind player-managers in the Major Leagues, including Lou Boudreau, the most successful player-manager in history.

Author Fred Bowen has thrown another perfect pitch with this exciting combination of fast-paced action and sports history!

A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Kid Coach (AllStar SportStory Series) (Paperback)
I am a big fan of Fred Bowen's sports books. I love to play many different sports and his stories really keep my interest. The Kid Coach is a great story because most kids on a team would like to be the coach from time to time. When Scott actually had to become the coach it was a lot harder than it seemed. Real team work became necessary if they were going to win. Read to see how kids cope with the struggles and joys of leading. Go Team!
