"[V]isually stunning... This book is a wonderful example of the vibrancy of urban life and the importance of community and family." -- The Reading Teacher, International Reading Association (IRA) "In this uniquely designed picture book, 10-year-old James finally gets to play basketball with his older brother's friends and proves he can hold his own.

It's a metaphor for life in the larger world, of course, but it's also an intense, image-rich world of its own. Author Coy and illustrator Jean-Bart capture that intensity in this well-realized picture book for older readers... Coy's text moves with all the free-wheeling speed of playground ball, and the first-person narration captures James' fear as well as his determination. Best of all, though, are Jean-Bart's collage-style illustrations, produced by combining Polaroid photographs and scratchboard drawings. The result melds the realism of the players' photos with the flat but evocative symbolism of the scratchboard settings (as if three-dimensional figures appeared on cave paintings). Real-life kids competing on a mythic playing field-that's the message here, but you don't need to understand it in those terms to feel its allure." -- Booklist Notable Books for a Global Society, International Reading Association (IRA) Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Marion Vannett Ridgway Award Honoree Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People, National Council for the Social Studies/ Children's Book Council Original Art Show, Society of Illustrators, "[V]isually stunning. . .
