The Fifth Quarter: Hard Court

By Mike Dawson and Mike Dawson

Book Overview

Grab a seat, and get ready to cheer Lori on once again, as she works through the growing pains of middle-school and faces her fears--on the court and in life.

Sixth grade is here--and just as Lori starts to find her footing, everything begins to shift again.

Her friends are developing new interests and drifting in different directions. Her dad returns to work for the first time since she was born, changing the rhythm of home life. And when her mom takes a job coaching a new after-school basketball league, Lori's world on and off the court suddenly collide in unexpected ways.

To make things even more complicated, her closest friends are now playing for the opposing team.

As the pressure builds, Lori begins to feel frustrated, left out, and unsure of where she stands--both in basketball and in her changing life.
