Mike's not the smartest kid in his class, nor is he the most athletic. Sometimes he feels as if he doesn't fit in with his classmates. But Mike is open to learning how life can get better for those who are willing to work hard and grow.
"This book speaks to the many kids who don't make the best grades or star on their schools' athletic teams, and the hurt their peers can cause. The book's character, Mike, shows that kids don't always have to be the best--they just need to try hard and do their best."-- Joe Washington, Former University of Oklahoma star running, college football All-American and 10-year NFL veteran, author of The Seven Secrets of the Silver Shoes
