The Court (Book 1 of The Court Series)
By N.B.D.
He never planned to play basketball. Now the game might change his life.
Jaden "J.T." Taylor is just your average middle schooler-sharp with numbers, low on drama, and more comfortable solving science problems than running point. But when a spontaneous park game reveals talent he didn't know he had, J.T. finds himself invited to try out for one of the most elite AAU basketball teams in the city.
The jerseys are crisp. The competition is intense. The egos? Even louder than the crowd.
Now J.T. has to navigate new teammates, big-time pressure, and the expectations of coaches, recruiters, and himself. He's learning that the game isn't just about skills-it's about trust, leadership, and believing in your own voice when everything gets loud.
Perfect for readers ages 8-15, The Court is an authentic, high-energy story about finding your rhythm, fighting through doubt, and discovering who you are-on and off the court.
Welcome to The Court Series. Where character meets competition-and every play tells a story.
