Description

Chris wants to be a star scorer like his brotherโ€”so why does his coach keep him waiting on the bench?

Chris comes from a sports-loving family. His brother is the star scorer on the high school team, and is being recruited by Division 3 colleges. Chris longs to earn the same adulation, and heโ€™s a good scorer for his junior high team. But why wonโ€™t his coach start him? Heโ€™s better on defense than his rival, Carlos, and nearly as good a shooter.ย 

Soon Chris becomes obsessed with earning a place in his teamโ€™s starting lineup. He does everything he can think ofโ€”including being an invaluable player every time he comes in. But nothing seems to get Coachโ€™s attention. Even after he learns the history of the valuable โ€œ6th man,โ€ Chris canโ€™t seem to let it go. How will he ever be a big scoring star?ย 

For every kid who hates to read but loves basketball, comes a suspenseful novel with plenty of play-by-play sports action.
