Somebody’s Gotta Root for the Underdog
by Fresh Ink Author Noah James Mayne
A book about surviving fourth grade
Somebody’s Gotta Root for the Underdog
James’ story walks readers through a laughable semester at St. James school, where he learns about navigating friendships, being a good teammate, and why it’s important to root for the underdog.
“I was inspired by Jewell Parker Rhodes, my mentor, who writes books to raise awareness or teach a lesson. I wanted to do the same by writing to teaching others about kindness and friendship.”
