Floating high from their football championship (Game Changers), Ben McBain and his middle-school teammates prepare for their basketball season. Ben soon becomes distracted by the team's new point guard, Chase. The rivalry pushes them beyond sportsmanship and challenges Ben's own friendships, including the attention of Lily, "the coolest eleven-year-old girl on the planet." The story balances realistic character development with exciting on-the-court action.
