Description
When Brandon chases a runaway basketball he meets enough friends to make up a team.
Quick Summary
A runaway basketball zips through the neighborhood, and one boy's wild chase turns strangers into teammates in this energetic early reader. Kids will race through the pages as Brandon zigs and zags around the neighborhood, picking up cool new friends who each bring their own hilarious personality to the growing crew. This feels like a basketball version of "Magic Tree House" meets the friendship power of "Cam Jansen" for youngest readers. Perfect for kids in kindergarten through third grade who are starting to read on their own and love stories about making friends and having fun.
