Amar'e is invited to join the seventh- and eighth-grade basketball team a year early. However, not everyone on the team supports the new sixth grader. Amar'e adjusts to the more tightly called games--a change from his streetball tournaments--and works to win over his older teammates. Another idealistic installment, but fans will continue to enjoy the accessible storytelling and affable, hardworking protagonist.
