(3) 4-6 This story of a sixth-grade traveling basketball team from an affluent town deals with parental involvement in team sports. In alternating narratives, four teammates reveal how parental pressure or apathy affects their lives and hinders the team. The likable characters bond over their family problems, which ultimately empowers each of them. A final chapter follows up on the four in high school.
