(4) 4-6 Sixth-grader River dreams of playing for the WNBA. Her dream, however, is curtailed when she makes the B-Team rather than the preferred A-Team. Yet River rallies her "Hoop Girlz" through leadership, teamwork, and laughter--and a little help from her older brother. The thin story line is a bit too convenient, but the characters entertain, and the basketball practices and the drama of being "cut" ring true.
Reviewer: Charlotte S. Huck
