INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Bildner, Phil

Tournament of Champions

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Tim Probert. This third installment (A Whole New Ballgame; Rookie of the Year) introduces Rip's recently resurfaced father, who chaperones the basketball team at a tournament, much to Rip's displeasure. Meanwhile, Rip's autistic best friend, Red, is worried about sleeping away from home, and the team grapples with being seriously outclassed. Bildner has crafted another insightful and energetic story, enhanced by Probert's gray-scale illustrations.
