This book is another 2014-2015 Gateway Readers Award Nominee. While I have some issues with this book, I will say I would have no problem recommending it to a male reluctant reader. It is about 2 boys, one white, poor, and the very talented point guard on his all black high school basketball team. The other boy is black, comes from a wealthy family, and was a student at a prep school, where he was the only black basketball player. Tragedy throws them together and they both learn life lessons about friendship, family, loss, and things more important than basketball.
