About the Book
-
SynopsisGuards for Matt by Beman Lord (1961) is a children's sports story about a young boy named Matt who loves basketball but struggles to find his place on the team. Rather than being a natural scorer, Matt discovers that his real strength lies in playing defense and setting up plays for his teammates. The story follows his journey to understanding that every role on a team matters, and that being a good guard — protecting, assisting, and supporting others — is just as valuable as being the star. It's a gentle, encouraging tale about teamwork, self-discovery, and finding confidence in one's own abilities.
