Reviews

[Audrey Widjaja · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good book for kids to know more about their surroundings and friends characters. There must be someone who is shy. I am actually often shy too.

Tyler is shy and doesn't want to play with anyone, until a new girl comes to school and is just as shy as he is. They become friends and start a yo-yo club and then make many more friends.
