‘With a bolt of lightning on my kicks . . .
The court is SIZZLING.
My sweat is DRIZZLING.
Stop all that quivering.
Cuz tonight I'm delivering’
12-year-old Josh and his twin Jordan have basketball in their blood.
They’re kings of the court, star players for their school team. Their
father used to be a champion player and they each want nothing more
than to follow in his footsteps.
Both on and off the court, there is conflict and hardship which will
test Josh’s bond with his brother. In this heartfelt novel in verse,
the boys find that life doesn’t come with a play-book and it's not all
about winning.
Neetu Patel’s parents just ruined her whole life. Three weeks before the start of the school year, they announced the family was moving to Washington D.C. When she starts her new school, Neetu joins the school dance committee. What sounds like a harmless opportunity to socialise turns out to be anything but. Can she find her voice and pull off the dance of a lifetime? Navigate the paths of self-belief, endurance, and friendship… What will you decide?
Exciting, high-interest topics make these books page turners for kids, keeping them reading, and giving them agency, as they control the story based on their own high-stakes choices - all while learning character-building skills and principles.
Children will love the funny and irresistibly page-turning narrative, and will want to revisit this book time and time again to choose the multiple different paths through the adventures. Through reaching a series of desirable outcomes or teachable moments, they’ll practise making decisions, and learn about the consequences of choices. Survival and success is up to them!
A section at the back of the book explores the target character traits and includes a series of questions for discussion.
