‘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.
High school sophomore Annie Smith is just hoping to live a
normal life after she moves from Arkansas to the quiet little town
of Reston, Texas. But it does not take long for her new friends to
figure out that Annie is anything but normal. Annie's goal is to
fly under the radar drawing as little attention to herself as
possible. But she soon discovers that being normal does not always
bring happiness.
Melinda "Chip" Fullerton is a gifted athlete with two wishes-to
be taller and to be on a good team for once. As she starts her
junior year of high school, it looks like both her wishes will go
unfulfilled-until Annie shows up. Immediately suspicious of Annie's
baggy clothes and athletic abilities, Chip enlists Luke Slowinski,
sports editor for the school newspaper, to do some undercover
sleuth work that eventually reveals the truth: Annie is not who she
appears to be.
This is a story that illustrates the importance of building
character as well as talent, Annie soon learns that a new beginning
is all she needs to finally embrace her true self.
