Description
This book tells the story of a high school basketball team's season through a series of poems reflecting the feelings of students, their families, teachers, and coaches.
Quick Summary
Turn the page and you'll experience an entire high school basketball season from every angle, because each poem lets you step into a different player's sneakers, hear the coach's pep talks, and feel what families cheer for from the stands. Kids will love how the poems capture the electric rush of a buzzer-beater, the pre-game jitters that make stomachs flip, and The Way to Treasure Island a team transforms from strangers into brothers over months of hard work and shared dreams. If your kid loves Mike Lupica's sports stories or enjoys poetry that hits hard like Jason Reynolds' Long Way Down, they'll absolutely devour this. This is perfect for teens in grades 9 through 12 who want a fast but unforgettable read about basketball, brotherhood, and the emotions that happen both on and off the court.
