Great for sports fans!

The story behind the book:

Some famous players started playing ball at playgrounds and rec centers. One of the most famous basketball

playgrounds is “The Rucker” in New York City, where Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the leading scorer in the history of

NBA, started out. Some other guys at the playground looked pretty good too. But playground ball is not ”real �

hoops.” Playing for a team – like a school team or a professional team – is where players are really tested.

From the publisher: Houdini chronicles his life as he and his friends start a leaf-

raking business, befriend Old Man Jackson, a Vietnam War veteran with a seriously intimidating dog, and get even

with the neighborhood bully, Angel. But it’s hard to find a way to write about his dad losing his job or his brother,

Franklin, who is first reported missing in action in Iraq and then still seems to be missing when he comes home.
