There's nothing but net in this engaging tale of basketball and
life.
Eddie "Air" Ball wants to win the Finkle Foods poetry contest for a
chance to sink a million-dollar free throw at halftime of the NBA
finals. He knows he can make the shot, no problem. He's not so sure he
can write a winning poem, though. Luckily, Eddie has the help of his
best friend, Annie "Oakley" Stokely. Not only is Annie as good at
shooting baskets as Eddie is, she also knows a lot about writing poems.
But someone wants him to miss and will stop at nothing to keep Eddie
from winning. Together, the two friends might have a chance to win the
money that will help their parents move them out of their trailer park
homes.
