Thirteen-year-old Lamar Washington is the maddest, baddest, most
spectacular bowler at Striker's Bowling Paradise. But while Lamar's
a whiz at rolling strikes, he always strikes out with girls. And
Lamar's brother is no help--Xavier earns trophy after trophy on the
basketball court and soaks up Dad's attention, leaving no room for
Lamar's problems.
Then bad boy Billy Jenks convinces Lamar that hustling at the
alley will help him win his dream girl, plus earn him enough money
to buy an expensive pro ball and impress celebrity bowler Bubba
Sanders. But when Billy's scheme goes awry, Lamar ends up ruining
his brother's shot at college and damaging every relationship in
his life. Can Lamar figure out how to mend his broken ties, no
matter what the cost?
Women in Sport celebrates the success of the tough, bold and
fearless women who paved the way for today's athletes. The
sportswomen featured include well-known figures like tennis player
Serena Williams and broadcaster Clare Balding, as well as
lesser-known pioneers like Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim
the English Channel, and Keiko Fukuda, the highest-ranked female
judoka in history. From the creator of the bestselling Women in
Science, this richly illustrated book highlights the achievements
and stories of fifty notable sportswomen from the 1800s to today,
including trailblazers, Olympians and record-breakers in more than
forty sports. It also contains infographics on topics such as
muscle anatomy, pay and media statistics for female athletes, and
influential women's teams.
