Mark Setzer has a lot on his mind. He's worried about his upcoming
bar mitzvah, and he misses his best friend, who's moved to the rich
side of town and started hanging out with the obnoxious kid they
used to make fun of. Mark doesn't need the aggravation of his
mother signing on to manage his Little League team.
But if "Mother Bagel" complicates Mark's life, she's great for
the team. Suddenly, they're winning games and headed toward the
championship. The problem is, Mark has some information that could
change everything, and he doesn't know what to do with it. He's a
friend, a teammate, and the manager's son -- can he be all these
and still be true to himself?
The Crossover:
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.
Booked:
Twelve-year-old Nick is a football-mad boy who absolutely hates books. In this follow-up to the Newbery-winning novel The Crossover, football, family, love, and friendship take centre stage as Nick tries to figure out how to navigate his parents’ break-up, stand up to bullies, and impress the girl of his dreams. These challenges – which seem even harder than scoring a tie-breaking, game-winning goal – change his life, as well as his best friend’s.
Rebound:
It's 1988. Charlie Bell is still mourning his father, and struggling to figure out how he feels for his best (girl) friend, CJ. When he gets into trouble one too many times, he's packed off to stay with his grandparents for the summer. There his cousin Roxie introduces him to a whole new world: basketball. A legend on the courts is born. But can Charlie resist when trouble comes knocking once again?
