Twelve-year-old Danny Walker may be the smallest kid on the basketball court -- but don't tell him that.

When he is cut from his local travel team, the very same team his father led to national prominence as a boy, Danny's father knows Danny isn't the only kid who was cut for the wrong reason, and together, this washed-up former player and a bunch of never-say-die kids prove that the heart simply cannot be measured.

Basketball (or Something Like It)

Told from the perspective of four unlikely friends, Nora Raleigh Baskin's poignant novel focuses on the action, drama, and fun of playing ball and explores what it takes to be a winner of the game—both on the court and off.

The Moves Make the Man

Reverse spin, triple pump, reverse dribble, stutter step with twist to the left, stutter into jumper, blind pass. These are me. The moves make the man. The moves make me.

Then Jerome meets bix Rivers -- mysterious and moody, but a great athlete. So Jerome decides to teach bix his game. He can tell that bix has the talent. All he's got to do is learn the right moves....

Night Hoops

In this story of an unlikely bond, award-winning author Carl Deuker explores that dark and confusing place between loneliness and friendship, between faithfulness and betrayal.

Filled with gripping game play, the novel will leave readers wondering how much they themselves would reach out to a kid like Trent.

Summer Ball

Danny's heading to Right Way basketball camp for the summer, and he knows that with the country's best players in attendance, he's going to need to take his game up a notch if he wants to match up.

But it won't be easy. Old rivals and new battles leave Danny wondering if he really does have what it takes to stand tall.

Airball

Getting on the team turns out to be easy―the rest of the boys are as supremely untalented as Kirby ― but winning in order to be eligible to meet basketball legend McGrew is a whole different problem.

The coach's radical new plan for success involves the boys playing in their underwear. But if this crazy idea works, Kirby will get to meet his hero ― who he secretly also hopes is his long-lost father.

Hot Hand

All Billy Raynor wants to do is shoot. After all, he is one of the best shooters in the league. But with his dad as his coach, and his parents newly separated, somehow everything's become complicated.

When his brother Ben's piano recital falls on the same day as the championship game, it's Billy who teaches his dad the meaning of being a team player.

Win or Lose

When a game comes down to PJ's free throws making the difference between win or lose, he freaks! Can he solve his problem in time to earn back the respect of his coach and teammates and himself?

Players

But then a series of tragic circumstances begins to knock players off the team. Corey believes it’s more than just coincidence.

Stanford Wong Flunks Big-time

Stanford Wong is having a bad summer. If he flunks his summer-school English class, he won't pass sixth grade. If that happens, he won't start on the A-team. If *that* happens, his friends will abandon him and Emily Ebers won't like him anymore. 

Basketball: How It Works (The Science of Sports)
