I think I've been spoiled by Chris Crutcher's books, so I'm a bit jaded when I read a sports book by anyone else. But, at least this YA basketball novel is for high school students, rather than the plethora of junior high titles that are out there.
Jackson O'Connell somehow thinks he can get a Div I scholarship going into his senior year, even though he never started last year. Um, hello? Reality, please? Of course, his coach is more interested in building next year's team so Jackson doesn't get much playing time. There is a girl, of course. And some family drama.
So, I call this an "okay" basketball book. But I'd recommend My Losing Season first.
