On the Mat

Claude is very big for his age. He has been teased about his size all his life, especially by Tom De Silva, ‘the school champion of everything’. He’s too slow to be good at running, football, soccer, swimming … any sport. But then he meets Mario, a small, skinny boy, who is a wrestler and a whole other world is opened up.
