After a summer growth spurt, Theo finds himself the centerpiece of the basketball team. Unfortunately, his skills must catch up with his body. As Theo tries to juggle hoops with his position on the Brain Train Aca-lympics team, an accusation threatens Theo's status on both squads. The story moves beyond basketball as the convincing middle-school dialogue captures a diverse group of characters.
