"Ludicrous--and a whole lot of fun...an enjoyable sports fantasy."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Infused with silliness and sugar, but the banter is fast and
sassy...Funny and believable." --BCCB
A basketball-loving girl makes a wish to never miss a basket in this
charming middle grade novel that pushes girl power to the max!
Lizzy Trudeaux loves basketball. She doesn't have much by way of money,
but she has access to the community court and a worn ball named Ginger,
and she practices constantly. After fighting to join the boys' team at
her school, Lizzy is finally given the opportunity to show off her
hard-earned skills.
When she answers what she believes is another bill-collecting phone
call, Lizzy receives a magical wish: the ability to sink every shot.
Pure Swish. Now eviscerating the competition in the boys' league is
small potatoes--she has the skills to dominate in the NBA. With the help
of her BFF Toby and some viral video action, Lizzy goes all the way to
the Philadelphia Bells's starting lineup, making history and taking
names.
Then, just as she's about to go face-to-face with her hero, the best
player on the planet, things begin to fall apart. But Lizzy isn't a
quitter and she'll play her hardest for the love of the game.
