Description

Gus Lupica has always been passionate about basketball, but this season he's more excited than ever. His friend Teddy is trying out for the team and Gus's own skills are improving. However, things get complicated when Cassie, one of his closest friends, joins the boys' team as a point guard. Cassie's presence on the team raises questions about identity, belonging, and prejudice. As tensions rise, Gus struggles to reconcile his loyalty to his friend with the pressure to perform on the court. Meanwhile, the team faces challenges off the field, including comments from their coach about Gus's heritage and a family member running for office. Can Gus find a way to bring the team together and overcome their differences, or will prejudices block their path to success? This gripping novel explores themes of friendship, identity, and teamwork in a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
