Details:

Mike Lupica presents the second book in his NEW YORK TIMES bestselling Game Changers series! Still living large off their incredible football championship win just weeks before, Ben McBain and his crew must now prepare for basketball season. Ben is known as the best point guard throughout the league. And now that Shawn O'Brien has joined their team, they are a shoo-in to win it all. But there is a new kid in town, Chase Braggs, a point guard like Ben who seems to be better, stronger, and faster. Refusing to let his team down, Ben hits the courts hard to practice. Ben's rivalry with Chase seems to take the fun out of playing ball with his best friends. Will Ben be able to pull it together for his team and for himself? From Booklist Back from his game-winning touchdown pass in the championship football game, sixth-grader Ben McBain returns with buddies Sam, Coop, Lily, and new addition Shawn at the start of the basketball season. In a fresh twist to the standard sports formula, their team fails to make the championship basketball game, and Ben wrestles with personal shortcomings as he deals with an obnoxious but talented opposing point guard who has his eye on Lily. With plenty of well-paced game action and an attractive cast of characters, this second in the Game Changers series is as satisfying as a three-point shot from the corner. Grades 4-7. --Linda Perkins
