(4) 4-6 Basketball fanatic Jim Malone is thrilled when he makes the seventh-grade travel team. In this somewhat overplotted novel, Jim also has to contend with his elderly dog's increasing frailty, the death of his Holocaust-survivor grandmother, and having to read an essay in a public speaking contest. Multifaceted characterizations and convincing family dynamics make this more than just another sports novel.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
