Author Shamini Flint continues the hilarious adventures of sports-challenged 9-year-old Marcus Atkinson as he tries to deal with his father’s heartfelt (and ill-founded) conviction that Marcus is a sporting star.
Marcus is a maths whiz who is not good at sport. 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 humour and comic drawings will have readers laughing out loud while learning a surprising amount about sport.
The latest additions to this entertaining series are:
Diary of a Super Swimmer
Just when I hoped we’d finally run out of sports for me to try, Dad’s discovered a new one. In water. Dad wants me to swim!
Let’s get a few things straight
I am not a fish.
I am not a turtle.
I am an ordinary boy.
I will not love to swim!
Diary of a Track and Field Titan
I am only good at maths and computer games. Not sport!!!
Dad’s latest crazy idea is for me to try Track and Field. Even worse, it’s not just ‘track’ and ‘field’ – there are TEN events!
If I can’t master one sport, how can Dad think I’ll be good at ten?
