Growing up is a team effort in Fast Break, a contemporary middle-grade graphic novel about hoops, family, and friendship--perfect for fans of The Tryout and Ride On.
Mikayla Thomas is a star basketball player determined to be the best at everything she does, including making her family's move across town as stress-free as possible. So when the girls' coach at Mikayla's new school refuses to let her try out for their lineup, she agrees to join the Firebirds, a ragtag coed-league team, instead. But Mikayla is used to winning, and while the Firebirds are great kids, they aren't great at basketball. In this fast-paced, high energy story about taking charge on and off the court, Mikayla begins to realize that the path to success isn't a solo journey--it's a team effort.
