(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Leslie Jean-Bart. Young James finally gets his chance to play basketball with his older brother and the big boys, where he battles bulging muscles, trash talk, and the stinging asphalt of the playground. Yet, as anticipated, the boy makes the final shot to win the game. Unique collage illustrations, blending photography and scratchboard drawings, give an engaging sense of realism to the story.
Reviewer: Charlotte S. Huck
