TJ and the Sports Fanatic

Seymour went into deep-think mode. One eyebrow went up and one eyebrow went down. Mr. G. looked at me for a translation. I had no idea what was going on in Seymour's head. When it came to football, things were definitely weird. TJ Barnes is back, playing with his crazy cats, T-Rex and Alaska, helping out in his parents' hardware store and goofing around with his best friend, Seymour. When Seymour announces that he has signed them both up for a football team, TJ fears the worst. Neither of them is huge or mean or able to tackle, catch, throw, run or kick a ball down a field, but Seymour is determined to be a star. With the help of a stack of library books, TJ starts to understand the game but it takes more than a few books to figure out what's wrong with his best friend. Hazel Hutchins has never been a sports fanatic. Everything she knows about football she's learned from books and from watching other people, including her son and daughter, play. Hazel is the author of three previous TJ books for Orca. She lives in Canmore, Alberta. TJ and the Sports Fanatic is the fourth of four books in a series. Book one is TJ and the Cats. Book two is TJ and the Haunted House. Book three is TJ and the Rockets.Hutchins, Hazel is the author of 'TJ and the Sports Fanatic', published 2006 under ISBN 9781551434612 and ISBN 155143461X.
