I hadn't read a Matt Christopher book until now. He did a nice job of combining lots of tennis action with a story about parental pressure to be good at a sport. If he tackles every sport the way he did tennis, then it is no surprise why the kids read so many of his books. I liked how he brought the tennis action to life and applied the strategies of the sport.
Steve plays tennis really well. He enjoys it but doesn't quite have the drive his father has for him. Having had the chance himself before a career ending injury, Steve's dad is always pushing Steve. Steve feels his sister, Ginny, is the one who should be pushed as she has talent and drive. He needs to speak up, but will he?
