What are some popular fictional sports books?

One example is Quidditch from the 'Harry Potter' series. It's a magical sport played on broomsticks, with players trying to score points by throwing a ball through hoops and catching the Golden Snitch. Another is Calvinball from 'Calvin and Hobbes'. There are no set rules in Calvinball, and the players make up the rules as they go along. A third example could be the Hunger Games in 'The Hunger Games' books, which is a brutal and complex competition that could be considered a fictional sport in a sense.

'Woods Runner' by Gary Paulsen is quite popular too. Although it's more of an adventure story set during the Revolutionary War, there are elements of hunting and survival skills which can be considered sports - like. The main character's abilities in these areas drive the story forward and make it a page - turner for young adults.
