Packed with humor and thrilling sports action, this "wonderful story
of friendship and the unique ability of kids to overcome a challenge"
(#1 New York Times bestselling author Mitch Albom) "will get in your
heart and won't get out" (#1 New York Times bestselling author Mike
Lupica).
Back in his old basketball league, before the car accident,
thirteen-year-old Carlos Cooper owned the court, sprinting and jumping
and lighting up the scoreboard as his opponents (and teammates) watched
in amazement. But now, Carlos feels completely out of his league on his
new wheelchair basketball team, the Rollin' Rats. After all, how can he
make a layup when he's still struggling to learn how to dribble?
But when the city's crooked mayor threatens to tear down the Rollin'
Rats' gym, Carlos realizes that he can't stay on the sidelines forever.
Because without a gym, the team can't practice, and if they can't
practice, they can kiss their state tournament dreams goodbye. If Carlos
is going to learn what it truly means to be part of a team and help his
new friends save their season, he'll have to either go all-in . . . or
get out.
