Synopsis#1 New York Times Bestseller A People Kid Pick of the week From the mind of basketball legend and Academy Award-winning storyteller Kobe Bryant comes this radically original portrait of five young basketball players, one enlightening coach, and the awesome transformative power of the game. Filled with insights about the mental stamina and emotional clarity that peak performance requires, this is an indispensable story for young athletes, coaches, educators, and anyone interested in the astonishing potential of team sports to unlock individual growth. THE GAME WILL NEVER BE THE SAME Magic doesn't seem possible for the West Bottom Badgers. They're the lowest-ranked basketball team in their league, and they live in the poorest neighborhood in Dren. Nobody expects them to succeed at anything. Plus, every kid on the team has secret struggles of his own. When a new coach named Professor Wizenard arrives on the first day of training camp, the Badgers can't explain the magical-seeming things they see and hear. Every player experiences unique and strange visions--visions that challenge everything they thought they knew about basketball, and about their lives and their secrets off the court. To survive the increasingly intense ordeals of training, the Badgers will need to take unimaginable risks, learn to trust their teammates, and confront the darkness within themselves., From the mind of basketball legend and Oscar]-winning storyteller Bryant comes this radically original portrait of five young basketball players, one enlightening coach, and the awesome transformative power of the game.

  • Differently written

    This book is written with a different perspective of 5 different teammates. Basketball premise pulls the kids in and before they know it, they have learned a lesson or two. It does have some magic aspects in it. However, it is also other worldly with sky color and such. I read this book before I recommended it to a 12-year-old I tutor. Since it It's Basketball with a Potter world twist.
