About This Book

At school, Joshua Wilson is called "klutz." He drops things. He trips. And worst of all he's always the last one picked for any team. His brother, Benjie, tries to help. But Benjie's a star athlete so Joshua only feels klutzier!

Nothing helps until Joshua meets Mr. Romonov, "the Czar." The old man teaches Joshua how to pull off the winning side of a wishbone—a small thing, but big enough to give Joshua some confidence that things can get better.

Then, Joshua's friend has an accident. Joshua is the only one who doesn't panic, and suddenly, a wishbone is not such a small thing!
