By Coy, John & Jean-Bart, Leslie

Publishers Summary:
When James is finally allowed to play basketball on the main court with the older boys, he has to prove he can hold his own.

In the end, there's much more than the game point riding on James's last shot. John Coy's energetic prose captures the intensity and emotion of the competition, while Leslie Jean-Bart's photo collages convey the gritty pace of the game.
