Description
Gene Luen Yang's latest graphic novel, Dragon Hoops, is a story about the power of sports to bring people together. As a high school teacher and comic book author, Gene has always been fascinated by stories - but he never thought he'd find one in his own backyard.
The men's varsity basketball team at his school, the Dragons, are on a winning streak that's been decades in the making. But as Gene gets to know these young athletes, he realizes their story is just as thrilling as anything he's seen on a comic book page. As the season unfolds, Gene finds himself drawn into the lives of these talented players - and his own life begins to change in unexpected ways.
