Hoops series.
The WNBA-player author's new series features seventh grader Elle, who's six feet tall. She's destined to play basketball--which she does and loves--but Elle is also a normal kid, juggling basketball with other obligations and fretting about her height and its impact on her life. Elle is a likable character: a little clumsy, a little goofy, but a good role model for girls. Review covers these Hoops titles: Elle of the Ball, Full-Court Press, and Out of Bounds..

YA
With Sarah Durand. WNBA player and Olympic Gold Medalist Delle Donne's lively, honest, and inspiring memoir discusses the many challenges she faced (notably chronic, painful Lyme disease) on her journey to basketball stardom. Written in an engaging, conversational voice, Delle Donne's account mixes lots of basketball action with moving descriptions of her supportive family and her struggle to re-develop a love of basketball after burning out.
