It's hard being different. Everybody in Willy's family is an athlete:even his mom. And, although Willy wishes he were like the rest of his family, no matter how hard he tries he never seems to be as good as they are. When he hears there's going to be wrestling try-outs, he and his best friend sign up. Even if they never get to play, they'll be the best benchwarmers of all time! A hi-lo book for reluctant readers.

Whitewater Scrubs
By Mcewan, Jamie
In this sequel to Willy the Scrub, the gang has joined a kayaking club after school. Willy seems to get the hang of it fine, but Rufus and Clara are not doing so well. Clara, who is one of the school's top girl athletes, ends up upside-down in the water and develops a real fear of getting back into the water with her kayak. Her best friend makes sense: "Hey, you're a great athlete already. What do you have to prove? Just quit." Clara wonders if this sport really is "all wet."

Rufus the Scrub Does Not Wear a Tutu
By Mcewan, Jamie
Rufus is tired of being yelled at by his football coach. Sure, he's the biggest guy in his class and he wants to be a better player, but he's doing the best he can. When his mom suggests he try ballet lessons to become less clumsy, Rufus decides to give it a try. Now the coach wants him to choose between football and ballet, and Biff gives him a hard time about wearing a tutu (which he doesn't) . Even worse, the other Scrubs think Rufus is giving them a worse name (like that's possible) . After all the teasing and trying, what's a Scrub to do?
