Angel Park Hoop Stars
Description
A black boy from Los Angeles has some trouble fitting in with the twelve- and-under basketball team in his new, mostly white neighborhood in Angel Park. Book #1
Quick Summary
A young basketball player from LA moves to a mostly white suburb and has to prove himself on the court while making new friends. Kids will root for the underdog as he faces skeptical teammates, practices incredible moves, and shows that talent and heart matter more than where you come from. If your kid loves the humor and sports action in Matt Christopher books or the friendship dynamics in "Diary of Dorkius Maximus in Egypt a Wimpy Kid," they'll devour this. Perfect for kids ages 6-9 in grades 1-3 who love sports stories with heart.
