Humorous yet sweet.
Amelia is discouraged about being picked last for a game of a kickball (her classmates would rather pick the drinking fountain over her!). When she discovers that the entire class will be participating in the Greek Games during their study of Greece, she decides it is time to "get into shape".
I liked how in the back the author explains what the idioms mean.
The chapters are short so it is great for reluctant readers.
Strategies/skills: connections; inferring; figurative language
*Highly recommend.
