Nine short stories by young adult authors including Robert Lipstyte, Rita Williams-Garcia, Joseph Bruchac, and Walter Dean Myers capture the activity of an urban New York City basketball court in a single day. The volume is less one cohesive whole than vignettes of a place and time. Poems and black-and-white photographs by Smith as well as an afterword by Aronson enhance the work.
