(2) 4-6 Calvin (nicknamed "Flash" because of his hot temper) and his friend Barney join a Chinese basketball team's physically and emotionally grueling barnstorming tour. Cal learns to control his temper while facing prejudices and threats of violence. Yep integrates historical details seamlessly into the story. The frequent, exciting basketball games should be a big attraction for sports fans.
