A girl tries to choose between fitting in and playing the game she
loves in Basketball Blues by Thalia Kalkipsakis, the eleventh book of
the Go Girl! chapter book series.
When Angie is told that she plays basketball like a boy, she is
heartbroken. She quits her favorite basketball team and dreams of
cheerleading instead. Angie just wants to fit in, but is that worth
giving up her true self?
Praise for the Go Girls! series:
The characters are likable and believable--people you hope your own
girls might take as friends. --Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Simple in language and story structure, making them accessible to young
readers who are making their first foray into chapter books and good
choices for reluctant readers. --School Library Journal
