(3) 4-6 Numerous challenges faced by four sixth-grade friends threaten their basketball season. When Gig's father is injured in Afghanistan, Gig goes missing. Narrator Jackson must figure out how to get Gig back in the game. Plus, the big dance is only days away, and Jackson is without a date. Middle-school angst combined with contemporary events heighten the appeal of this winning read.
