My Soccer Mom from Mars

Ryan loves to play soccer (eventhough he might get distracted sometimes on the field)...and his mom loves to go to his games. Unfortunately she's often a little over-enthusiastic. Ryan gets a little embarassed. He cooks up a plan to trick his mom...and then (along with the rest of the team) misses her when he thinks she's not there.This is a great Easy Reader for a good first grade reader or an average second grade reader. ESPECIALLY if they love soccer. Cute & expressive pencil illustrations add to the fun. It even covers the thorny subjects of honesty and (obviously) being embarassed over the actions of a parent in language any second grader can understand.(Soccer Mom's will "aww" at then end...and their little players won't mind!)
