Diary of a Tennis Prodigy

Marcus Atkinson is definitely not a tennis genius. But his dad is convinced that Marcus has magic in his wrists. Marcus is a math whiz who is not good at sports. His dad is a self-help author who thinks Marcus can achieve anything he sets his mind to . . . with hilarious results. In illustrated diary format, Marcus's gentle, satiric humor and comic drawings will have readers laughing out loud while learning a surprising amount about tennis.
