"[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. Basketball terminology abounds ('glides down the lane, flips a finger roll') and should delight children who also yearn for the day when they will have the self-confidence to play with an older crowd." -- School Library Journal "It's an engrossing... debut for Jean-Bart" -- Kirkus Reviews Notable Books for a Global Society, International Reading Association (IRA) Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Marion Vannett Ridgway Award Honoree, Marion Vannett Ridgway Award 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. . .

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. . .

Synopsis
A boy finally gets to play basketball on the main court with the older boys, and has to prove he can hold his own., A boy finally gets to play basketball on the main court with the older boys, and has to prove he can hold his own. James has always settled for watching his big brother Nate play basketball from the sidelines. Then one day, a player is injured and James is asked to join the older boys' game. This is James' chance to prove himself on the main court, and he knows there is much more than "game point" riding on his last shot. John Coy's energetic prose captures the intensity and emotion of the competition, while Leslie Jean-Bart's photo collages deliver the urban pace of the game., James has always settled for watching his big brother Nate play basketball from the sidelines.
